Submit a tipThere are no reviews for this hole yet
Hole 10 at Rock Creek Park Golf Course is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg to the right. Located in Washington, District of Columbia, this hole plays at 376 yards from the championship tees and has a handicap rating of 3. The fairway is approximately 60 yards wide, providing ample room for an accurate tee shot.
In order to successfully navigate this hole, it is important to take into account the local weather conditions. In the summer months, temperatures can reach up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity levels. This can cause the ball to fly farther than expected due to decreased air density. On the other hand, in winter months, colder temperatures and strong winds may require more club selection and careful planning.
For an average golfer hitting around 217 yards off the tee with their driver, it is recommended to aim towards the left side of the fairway on Hole 10 as it will provide a better angle for approach shots into the green. A well-placed drive should leave players with a mid-iron or hybrid distance into an elevated green that measures at just over 4,000 square feet.
It's worth noting that there are no bunkers on this hole which means players won't have any greenside hazards to contend with when approaching their second shot onto this slightly undulating green. However, accuracy will still be key as missing long or short could result in tricky chip shots or difficult putts.
Based on inferred data and statistics for this hole including its length and lack of bunkers on or near its putting surface (0% bunker coverage), I recommend using either your pitching wedge (~120 yards) or possibly even your sand wedge (~100 yards) depending on how far you hit each club respectively - especially if playing during wetter seasons where softer ground conditions may make shorter clubs play longer distances relative to what they might typically do so under normal circumstances.
