Hole 12 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club is a challenging par 3 that requires accuracy and precision. From the championship tees, this hole measures 176 yards and has a handicap of 18, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The green area is relatively small at just under 6000 square feet, so hitting your tee shot onto the green will be crucial for scoring well.
The key to success on this hole lies in club selection and strategy. With an average drive distance of only 217 yards, most golfers will need to use a long iron or hybrid off the tee to reach the green. However, with water surrounding the front and right side of the green, it's important to choose a club that you can hit accurately.
In terms of approach shots, using a pitching wedge or short iron may be necessary for shorter hitters in order to avoid going over the back of the green into trouble. For longer hitters who are able to reach with their tee shot, choosing an accurate mid-iron may be best in order to control spin and placement on such a small target.
Water comes into play on this hole as well as several others throughout Calusa Lakes Golf Club. Therefore, it's important for golfers to take note of wind conditions and adjust their shots accordingly in order to avoid any potential hazards.
Overall, Hole 12 at Calusa Lakes Golf Club offers both challenges and opportunities for golfers looking to improve their scores. By carefully considering club selection and adjusting for weather conditions, players can navigate this tricky par 3 successfully.

Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Choose your club wisely: With a relatively small green and water hazards surrounding it, accuracy is key on this hole. Consider using a long iron or hybrid off the tee for better control and to avoid any potential hazards.
2. Pay attention to wind conditions: The presence of water on this hole makes wind an important factor to consider. Take note of the direction and strength of the wind before taking your shot, and adjust accordingly to avoid any trouble.
3. Aim for the center of the green: With a handicap of 18, this hole can be challenging even for experienced golfers. Instead of trying to hit a perfect shot towards one side of the green, aim for the center in order to give yourself more room for error.
4. Don't be afraid to lay up: For shorter hitters who may struggle with distance, don't try to reach the green with your tee shot if it means risking going into water or other hazards. Instead, use a pitching wedge or short iron for your approach shot in order to play it safe.
5. Keep spin under control: For longer hitters who are able to reach with their tee shot, choosing an accurate mid-iron may be best in order to control spin and placement on such a small target. This will help you avoid overshooting or ending up in trouble at the back of the green.
6. Practice chipping from different angles: If you do end up missing the green on this par 3, make sure you have some practice shots from various angles around greenside bunkers as well as uphill/downhill lies so that you're prepared when faced with these challenges during play.
