Brutal

At 209 yards, the seventh hole at PGA National Resort and Spa 'The Haig Course' presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. This mid-length one-shotter features a straight trajectory to a small, well-protected green that punishes wayward shots. Despite the absence of major water hazards or bunkers, the compact target and subtle green contours create their own defense, requiring golfers to select the right club and commit to their swing. The elevated tee provides excellent visibility, but don't let the clean look fool you – missing this small green leaves difficult recovery shots. A classic test of iron play that rewards accuracy and course management over aggressive play.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 209-yard par 3 demands precision over distance - focus on club selection that ensures you can reach the green comfortably while maintaining accuracy, as there's no fairway to bail out to.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 205.2 yards - just 4 yards short of the hole length. These greenside traps will catch slightly under-clubbed shots, so err on the side of taking enough club.

green

The green measures 22 yards by 35 yards (4,046 sq ft), providing a generous target. Use this size to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

approach

With no fairway available at 200 or 250 yards, this is a true target golf hole - your tee shot must carry all the way to the green or you'll face a difficult recovery shot.

tee shot

Since the landing zone is 0 yards from the tee, commit fully to reaching the green in one shot. There's no safe lay-up area, making club selection and execution critical for success.
