Landings Club, The (Deer Creek) Hole by Hole - 5th Hole

For low handicappers, the ideal strategy on this hole would be to hit a long and accurate drive towards the right side of the fairway, avoiding any potential hazards. This will leave a short approach shot to the green, which is relatively flat with minimal bunkers. With an average distance of 280+ yards off the tee, low handicappers should have no trouble reaching the green in regulation and potentially setting up for a birdie or even eagle opportunity.

Mid-handicappers should also aim for accuracy off the tee but may need to adjust their club selection based on their driving distance. With an average drive of 230+ yards, mid-handicappers may not be able to reach the green in one shot but can still set themselves up for a manageable approach shot by placing their ball in prime position on the fairway.

High handicappers face more challenges on this hole due to its length and water hazard. Playing it safe by aiming for placement rather than distance off the tee is recommended. With an average drive of 200+ yards, high handicappers may struggle to reach this par 4 in two shots but can mitigate risk by avoiding hazards and setting up for a comfortable chip onto the green.

As always, weather conditions must also be taken into consideration when playing this hole at Landings Club (Deer Creek). The coastal location of Savannah means wind direction and strength can greatly impact ball flight trajectory. Low handicappers should take advantage of favorable winds while high handicappers should play conservatively if faced with strong headwinds or crosswinds that could lead them astray from their intended target area.
