The plan for No. 10
The 10th at Kapalua Resort (Bay course) is a 371.0-yard par 4 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
The key off the tee is finding the optimal position for your approach shot rather than simply bombing driver. Most players should focus on the center-left portion of the fairway, which typically provides the best angle to the small green. A well-struck 3-wood or hybrid can be the smart play here, leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach. Longer hitters might consider driver if they can control their ball flight, but accuracy trumps distance on this hole. The straight layout means there's room to work with, but don't let that encourage careless swings.
Approach & recovery
The small green is the defining feature of this hole, making approach shot accuracy critical. Target the center of the green regardless of pin position - with limited real estate to work with, aggressive pin-hunting often leads to trouble. A mid-iron to short-iron approach (depending on your tee shot) should focus on a smooth, controlled swing rather than trying to stick it close. The green's size means even a well-struck shot that's slightly off-line can find trouble, so err on the side of caution and take the center of the green as your target.
On the green
With a small putting surface, lag putting becomes essential - three-putts can quickly derail your score here. Focus on getting your first putt within a comfortable two-putt range rather than being aggressive toward the hole. The green's compact size means subtle breaks can be magnified, so take extra time reading the putt. Uphill putts are generally safer than downhill ones on smaller greens, so factor this into your approach shot strategy when possible.
