Hole 7 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' is a challenging par 3 that requires precision and strategy. Located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, this hole plays at a distance of 209 yards from the Pro teebox, making it one of the longer par 3s on the course.

The green for Hole 7 is relatively small with an area of just over half an acre (6940 sq ft). It is also well-protected by three bunkers strategically placed around its perimeter. These greenside bunkers make up just under four percent of total bunker coverage on this hole.

When approaching this hole, golfers must take into consideration local weather conditions which can vary greatly across all four seasons in Palm Beach Gardens. The altitude and temperature may have some impact on ball flight conditions but wind will likely play a bigger role in determining club selection for both the tee shot and approach.

For average golfers who hit their driver approximately 217 yards off the tee, they will need to use a fairway wood or long iron to reach the green on this lengthy par 3. A well-placed layup shot short of any hazards could set them up nicely for an easier approach shot using their preferred iron distances - such as a pitching wedge (~120 yards) or even a mid-iron like a seven iron (~140 yards).

With water coming into play near the front left side of the green, accuracy is key when hitting your approach shot onto Hole 7's small putting surface. For those who are confident with their long irons or hybrids off tight lies around these types of hazards should consider taking advantage here by attacking pins tucked close to water edges.

Overall, Hole #7 presents golfers with different strategic options depending upon their skill level and risk/reward tolerance. No matter which approach you choose, be sure to carefully consider your club selection and shot placement in order to avoid the bunkers and water hazards that could quickly turn this hole into a scoring nightmare.
