Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (Pro Teebox):
With a drive distance of 280+ yards, low handicappers have the advantage on this hole. Take advantage of the wide fairway and aim for a slight draw to avoid the water hazard on the right side. This will leave you with an ideal approach shot to reach the green in two. With only 4% of bunkers on the green, risk-taking can lead to a birdie opportunity here. Keep in mind that wind conditions may vary across seasons at Bay Hill Club & Lodge, so adjust your club selection accordingly.
Mid Handicapper (Men's Teebox):
At 525 yards, mid handicappers should focus on accuracy over distance off the tee. Aim for a straight shot down the middle of the fairway to avoid any potential hazards. With 8 bunkers scattered throughout this hole, be mindful of your approach shot and try to stay clear from them. However, with only 4% of bunkers on the green itself, there is room for some risk-taking if needed.
High Handicapper (Seniors' Teebox):
For high handicappers hitting from Seniors' Tees at 478 yards, it's important to prioritize avoiding mistakes over trying for long shots. Play safe and aim for a straight tee shot towards center fairway to set yourself up for an easier second shot onto this long par 5 hole. The good news is that there are only four percent bunker coverage near greenside areas; however do take note that even though they seem far away they could still come into play depending upon pin placement.
All Skill Levels:
Regardless of skill level or which tees are being played from each golfer must consider prevailing winds during their strategy as well as how altitude affects ball flight conditions particularly when playing during hot summer months versus cool winter ones! When putting be sure not miss short putts due lack confidence because these greens remain fast throughout all seasons. With a green area of 8291 square feet, there is plenty of room to land your approach shot and score well on this hole at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
