Landings Club, The (Deer Creek) Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Playing Strategy for Low Handicappers (280+ yards):

As a low handicapper, you have the advantage of distance off the tee. However, on this hole at The Landings Club, it is important to prioritize accuracy over distance. With water on the left and a bunker on the right side of the green, aiming for the center of the green will give you a safe landing area. In windy conditions, be sure to take into account how much your ball may be affected by any crosswinds or headwinds.

Club Selection:

With distances ranging from 196 yards to 125 yards depending on teebox type, choosing the right club is crucial. For longer hitters with distances over 280 yards off the tee, a long iron or hybrid may be necessary to reach this par 3 in one shot. For mid-range hitters around 230-280 yards, a fairway wood or shorter iron may suffice. And for those who typically hit drives under 200 yards, consider using an iron or hybrid that allows for more control and accuracy rather than trying to muscle up with a driver.
