Hole 6 at Pelican Golf Club

Par 4 • 363 Yards • Belleair, Florida

Enhanced Content

Moderate

Pelican Golf Club hole 6 rewards precision over power, bending right through a corridor that demands golfers think their way around the corner rather than overpower it. At just 363.0 yards, this par 4 tempts big hitters to challenge the dogleg right, but the smart play favors a controlled tee shot that sets up the ideal angle into the green complex. Three greenside bunkers guard the target, punishing approach shots that miss their mark and creating genuine risk/reward decisions on every swing. Handicap 9 reflects the hole's deceptive difficulty—shorter yardage disguises a shot-maker's puzzle where strategy trumps distance, making club selection and shot shape the true keys to conquering this Belleair gem.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short 363-yard par 4 offers a generous fairway width of 46 yards at the 200-yard mark, making it an ideal hole to swing freely with driver and set up a scoring opportunity.

hazard warning

Beware the bunker cluster beginning at 316.5 yards—players who carry drives beyond 300 yards risk finding sand, especially with two more bunkers at 348.7 and 356.4 yards guarding the approach corridor.

tee shot

Since the fairway widens further to 48 yards at 250 yards, consider favoring the side of the fairway that opens the best angle into the small green rather than simply bombing driver down the middle.

approach

With bunkers at 348.7 and 356.4 yards flanking the landing zone just short of the green, plan your approach club to carry these hazards cleanly rather than trying to run the ball in low.

green

The green is classified as small at 4,535 square feet (32 by 25 yards), so precision trumps power on the approach—favor a controlled mid-to-short iron to hold this tight target.
