Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
Off the Pro teebox, this hole offers a great opportunity for an eagle attempt. With a long drive of 280+ yards, you can easily reach the green in two shots. Aim for the center of the fairway to avoid any potential hazards and set yourself up for a clear approach shot. The slight dogleg right may require some additional strategy, but with precision and accuracy, you can take advantage of this scoring opportunity.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
From the Men's teebox, this hole is still very manageable for a mid handicapper. At 378 yards, it allows room for error on your drive while also giving you a chance to attack the green in two shots. Keep your aim towards the center of the fairway to avoid any bunkers or water hazards that come into play on both sides. With good course management and smart club selection based on weather conditions, birdie is definitely within reach.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
For high handicappers playing from either Seniors' or Women's teeboxes at shorter distances (346 and 305 yards respectively), focus on avoiding mistakes rather than chasing eagles or birdies. Play conservatively off the tee by aiming towards safety in order to set yourself up with an easier approach shot onto this well-protected green complex.
Weather Considerations:
In colder weather with strong winds affecting ball flight conditions, adjust your club selection accordingly to ensure proper distance control and accuracy off the tee as well as on approach shots.
Percent Bunker On Green:
With only 3% bunker coverage around this large green area of over 7700 square feet, sand traps should not be too much of a concern when attacking pins here at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
