Hole 6 at the PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' is a challenging par 4 that requires both accuracy and strategy. From the championship tees, this hole measures 393 yards with a slight dogleg left. The tee shot should be aimed towards the right side of the fairway to avoid the water hazard on the left.

From the Men's tees, this hole plays slightly shorter at 341 yards but still presents a similar challenge. For Women golfers, this hole becomes more manageable with a distance of only 289 yards.

The green area is relatively small at just over 8500 square feet, making it crucial for golfers to hit their approach shots accurately. The green is well-guarded by two bunkers, which are strategically placed on either side of the green.

For average golfers who hit their driver around 217 yards off the tee, it may be wise to use a fairway wood or hybrid club instead to ensure they stay in play and avoid any trouble off the tee. This will leave them with an approach shot of approximately 140-160 yards depending on their skill level.

Golfers should keep in mind that weather conditions can greatly impact their ball flight on this hole due to its length and narrow fairway. In hot and humid conditions typical of Florida summers, balls tend to fly farther due to decreased air density. On colder days during winter months, balls may not travel as far due to increased air density.

Considering there are only two bunkers on this hole and they make up less than one percent of total greenside bunker coverage, players should aim for accuracy rather than worrying about avoiding sand traps when hitting onto the green.

Overall, Hole 6 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' offers an exciting challenge for all levels of golfers with its strategic design elements such as water hazards and bunkering combined with varying distances from different tee boxes. With proper club selection and course management, players can aim for a successful par or even birdie on this hole.
