Hole 6 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course is a challenging par 4 that requires both precision and strategy. From the championship tees, this hole measures 358 yards, making it one of the shorter holes on the course. However, do not be fooled by its length – with a handicap of 12, this hole has proven to be difficult for even the most skilled golfers.
The tee shot on Hole 6 is crucial as it sets up your approach to the green. With a slight dogleg right and water running along the entire right side of the fairway, accuracy off the tee is key. For an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, using a club with less distance like a hybrid or long iron may be wise in order to avoid hitting into trouble.
As you make your way down the fairway towards the green, you will notice that there are no bunkers guarding it. However, don't let your guard down just yet – while there are no greenside bunkers as a % of total area, there are some strategically placed mounds and slopes that can make for tricky lies if you miss your target.
Measuring at only 7247 sq ft., this small green demands accuracy on approach shots. It's important to take note of any changes in elevation or wind conditions before selecting your club for approach shots. The average golfer hitting their pitching wedge around 120 yards should consider taking an extra club due to potential altitude changes in Boynton Beach's warm climate.
With its combination of length and strategic layout, Hole 6 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course proves to be one of its toughest challenges for players from all skill levels throughout all four seasons. Keep these tips in mind when playing this hole and good luck!

Club Recommendations
1. Focus on accuracy over distance off the tee: With water running along the entire right side of the fairway, it's important to prioritize hitting a straight shot rather than trying to hit for maximum distance. Using a club with less distance like a hybrid or long iron can help you avoid trouble and set up your approach shot.
2. Take note of any wind conditions: Boynton Beach's warm climate can bring unpredictable winds that may affect your shots. Before selecting your club for approach shots, take note of any changes in wind direction and adjust accordingly.
3. Pay attention to elevation changes: The small green on Hole 6 demands accuracy on approach shots, but potential altitude changes in Boynton Beach's warm climate may affect how far your ball travels. Consider taking an extra club to compensate for any elevation differences.
4. Avoid missing the green at all costs: While there are no bunkers guarding the green, strategically placed mounds and slopes can make for tricky lies if you miss your target. Aim for the center of the green and be mindful of potential breaks in slope when putting.
5. Play smart instead of playing risky: As one of the shorter holes on the course, it may be tempting to try and go for birdie or eagle opportunities on this par 4 hole. However, with a handicap rating of 12, it's important to play conservatively and focus on making consistent pars rather than risking big numbers by going for aggressive shots.
6 .Stay mentally focused throughout the hole: With its challenging layout and reputation as one of toughest holes at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course, it's easy to get frustrated if things don't go as planned during this hole. Stay mentally strong and focused throughout each shot – even after mistakes – in order to give yourself the best chance at success.
