Welcome to Hole 12 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course. This par 4 hole measures in at a challenging 395 yards from the Championship tees, making it the third most difficult hole on the course with a handicap of 3. The Pro, Men's, and Women's tee boxes offer varying distances for players of all levels.
The fairway width is relatively narrow at just 33 yards, so accuracy off the tee will be crucial for success on this hole. The curvature of this hole is a hard dogleg right, meaning that your drive should favor the left side to set up an approach shot into the green.
Water comes into play on this hole, adding another layer of difficulty for players. It runs along the entire right side of the fairway and continues around behind the green. Be sure to keep your shots left and avoid any potential hazards.
With only two bunkers scattered throughout this hole, there isn't much worry about greenside bunkers as they make up just a small percentage of total bunker coverage on this hole.
In terms of club selection off the tee, most players will likely opt for their driver which averages around 217 yards in distance. However, depending on wind conditions or personal preference some may choose to lay up with a long iron or hybrid instead.
For your approach shot into this smaller green (measuring just over 4500 square feet), you'll want to take note that temperatures can get quite warm here in Boynton Beach during peak golf season (summer). With higher temperatures often comes increased ball flight distance due to less air density - so consider taking one extra club when making your calculations.
Overall, Hole #12 offers both challenges and opportunities for scoring well if played strategically and accurately.

Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Accuracy is key on this narrow fairway, so consider using a fairway wood or hybrid off the tee for more control.
2. Aim your drive towards the left side of the fairway to set up a better angle for your approach shot.
3. Be aware of the water hazard along the entire right side of the hole and avoid it at all costs.
4. Consider taking one extra club on your approach shot due to potential increased ball flight distance in warm weather conditions.
5. Don't be too aggressive with your shots - playing smart and avoiding hazards will lead to better scoring opportunities.
6. If you struggle with accuracy off the tee, consider laying up with a long iron or hybrid instead of using a driver.
7. Use caution when hitting into smaller greens, as they require precise shots for success.
8. Take note of wind conditions before selecting your club for both tee shots and approach shots.
9. Practice chipping and pitching from different lies around this green, as missing it can result in difficult recovery shots from bunkers or rough areas surrounding it.
10. Keep an eye out for any changes in pin placement that may affect strategy on this hole - adjust accordingly based on where you want to leave yourself for an easier putt.
