PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Hole 2 at the PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 437 yards from the championship tees. This hole has a handicap of 11, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot requires precision and strategy as there is water to the left and bunkers to the right.

The fairway width for this hole is relatively narrow at only 31 yards, which can make it challenging for golfers who struggle with accuracy off the tee. Additionally, there is a slight dogleg left that adds another element of difficulty to this hole.

For an average golfer hitting driver ~217 yards off the tee, they should aim for accuracy rather than distance in order to avoid ending up in any hazards or out-of-bounds areas. A good drive will leave them around ~220-230 yards away from the green.

Approaching this green requires careful consideration as well. With only two greenside bunkers accounting for just 2% of total bunker coverage on this hole, golfers may be tempted to play aggressively towards the pin but must be mindful not to overshoot their approach shots into potential trouble behind or beyond the green.

With an average pitching wedge distance of ~120 yards for our hypothetical golfer, they should aim to land their approach shot near or just short of center-green in order to give themselves a good chance at par or better.

Weather conditions can also impact scoring on this hole throughout different seasons. In warmer weather with higher temperatures and less wind resistance due low altitude levels at sea level elevation (0 ft), players will experience greater ball flight distances while cooler weather during winter months could result in reduced carry yardages when playing into prevailing winds coming off nearby Atlantic Ocean waters located less than five miles eastward from here.
