Hole 18 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course is a challenging par 5 that requires both distance and accuracy to score well. From the championship tees, this hole measures 515 yards and has a handicap of 7, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The tee shot on this hole is crucial, as there are several hazards to navigate. The fairway is relatively narrow, measuring only 26 yards in width. Additionally, there are four bunkers strategically placed along the fairway that come into play for longer hitters off the tee. The slight dogleg left also adds an element of strategy to the tee shot.
For most golfers with an average driving distance of around 217 yards, hitting a driver off the tee would be recommended in order to reach the green in two shots. However, with water running along the left side of the fairway and out-of-bounds on the right side, accuracy is key. A safer option may be hitting a hybrid or long iron off the tee to ensure finding the fairway.
On approach to this par 5 green which measures just over half an acre (5404 sq ft), players will need to take into account any wind conditions as well as altitude changes due to being located near sea level in Boynton Beach. With only two percent greenside bunkers as a percentage of total bunkers on this hole and no other major hazards surrounding it from short distances away from either side or behind its backside - club selection should not change much from what you have been using throughout your round so far today but do keep these factors mentioned above in mind while selecting clubs for your next few shots here on Hole #18!
For those who can hit their second shot within range of their pitching wedge (~120 yards) or even seven iron (~140 yards), going for birdie becomes more attainable if they can avoid any trouble around them such as the water hazard located on the left side of this green. For those who are further back, laying up with a shorter club may be a safer option to avoid any potential hazards and set up a manageable approach shot.
Overall, Hole 18 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course is a challenging yet rewarding par 5 that will test both distance and accuracy. With strategic planning and smart club selection, golfers can navigate this hole successfully and finish their round strong.
