Challenging

Hole 6 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 393 yards, this straight-away layout appears generous from the tee, but the real challenge emerges on the approach shot to a compact, well-defended green complex. The absence of major hazards might suggest an easy scoring opportunity, yet the small target requires pinpoint accuracy with mid-iron approaches. Smart course management becomes paramount as players must balance aggressive pin-hunting with the safety of the green's center. This hole exemplifies strategic golf design, where mental discipline and shot execution matter more than raw distance, making it a true test of a golfer's complete skill set.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into the narrow landing area.

approach

Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable approach distance, as bunkers positioned at 359.7 yards will catch any errant long shots. From 150-170 yards out, you'll have a clear look at the generous 5,078 square foot green.

green

The large putting surface measuring 26 yards by 35 yards offers plenty of target area for your approach shot. With this much green to work with, focus on getting your ball safely on the putting surface rather than attacking tight pin positions.

tee shot

At 393 yards total length, this par 4 rewards course management over power. A 200-yard tee shot leaves 193 yards to a large green, while a 250-yard drive (if you can hit the 12-yard target) leaves just 143 yards in.
