Hole 10 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' is a challenging par 4 that requires both precision and strategy. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with an altitude of just 14 feet above sea level, this hole can be influenced by the warm and humid weather typical of the area.

From the championship tees, this hole measures at 384 yards with a slight dogleg left. The fairway width is approximately 33 yards wide, providing some room for error off the tee. However, accuracy is key as there are two bunkers strategically placed on either side of the fairway to catch errant shots.

For most golfers hitting from these tees, a driver would likely be too much club as it could potentially carry past the dogleg and into trouble. Instead, I recommend using a hybrid or long iron off the tee to ensure placement in the narrow fairway.

The approach shot will require careful consideration due to its relatively short distance but also its well-protected green complex. With only two greenside bunkers accounting for just 2% of total bunker coverage on this hole, avoiding them should not be too difficult. However, missing left or right could lead to tricky up-and-downs for par.

With an average golfer's distances in mind (driver ~217 yards), I suggest aiming for about 160-180 yards off the tee followed by a mid-to-short iron approach shot (~140-120 yards). This will leave you with a comfortable yardage into one of PGA National's smaller greens measuring at only 7892 square feet.

Overall, Hole 10 at The Haig Course may seem straightforward but don't let its length fool you - smart course management and precision shots are essential for scoring well here. Keep your ball in play off the tee and aim for center of green on your approach shot to give yourself opportunities for birdie or par on this challenging par 4.
