Par 4 • 400 Yards • Orlando, Florida

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The 10th hole at Bay Hill Club & Lodge presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that has tested professionals and amateurs alike during the Arnold Palmer Invitational. At 400 yards, this straight-away hole appears straightforward from the tee, but its strategic nuances quickly reveal themselves. The absence of major hazards places premium emphasis on precision and course management rather than power. A well-positioned tee shot sets up an approach to a small, subtly contoured green that demands accuracy over aggression. As the lowest handicap hole on the course, it rewards disciplined play while punishing careless execution. This hole epitomizes Bay Hill's philosophy of strategic golf design, where seemingly simple layouts require thoughtful shot-making to score well.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to land around 200 yards where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - accuracy is crucial as missing the narrow landing area will leave you in trouble for your approach shot.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 275 yards from the tee - longer hitters who try to bomb their drive need to either lay up short or carry well beyond this hazard complex.

approach

With 400 total yards on this par 4, plan for a mid-iron approach shot of 125-150 yards after a well-positioned tee shot - club selection will depend on pin position on the moderately-sized green.

green

The green measures 27 by 28 yards (5,206 sq ft), providing a decent target size for your approach - aim for the center of the green unless you have a short iron in hand and can attack specific pin positions.

tee shot

Since the fairway remains consistently narrow at just 12 yards wide even at the 250-yard mark, consider taking one less club off the tee to ensure you find the short grass rather than trying to maximize distance.
