Club Recommendations

High handicappers should take advantage of the shorter distance from the Women's teebox, as it allows for an easier approach shot to the green. They should aim to hit their shots towards the center of the green and avoid any potential hazards, such as water or bunkers. With only one bunker on this hole, high handicappers have a better chance of avoiding sand traps compared to other holes on this course.

Mid handicappers can choose between using either the Pro or Men's teebox depending on their driving distance. The key for them is to focus on accuracy rather than distance when hitting their approach shot onto this large green. They should also consider how wind may affect their ball flight and adjust accordingly.

Low handicappers have more options off the tee with longer distances available from both Championship and Men's tees. However, they should be aware that longer drives could potentially bring water into play if they are not careful with their placement. With a larger green area, low handicappers can afford to be more aggressive in aiming for pins but must still be mindful of any potential hazards surrounding the green.
