Hole 12 at Seminole Golf Club
Par 4 • 367 Yards • North Palm Beach, Florida
The 12th hole at Seminole Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 367 yards, this straight-away layout appears generous from the tee, but the small green complex transforms what seems like a routine approach into a test of accuracy and touch. The absence of major hazards shifts focus entirely to course management and pin placement, making club selection critical on the approach shot. Donald Ross's original design philosophy shines through here, where strategic thinking trumps brute force. The compact putting surface punishes wayward iron shots, requiring golfers to dial in their distances perfectly. This hole epitomizes Seminole's reputation for rewarding thoughtful play over aggressive tactics.

Avoid aggressive drives beyond 250 yards as the fairway completely disappears at this distance, with bunkers positioned at 262 yards to catch errant shots.
With the green measuring a generous 32 by 27 yards and covering 4,115 square feet, you have a large target for your approach shot - focus on finding the putting surface rather than attacking pins.
