Kapalua Resort (Bay course) Hole by Hole - 7th Hole

Welcome to hole 7 at the Kapalua Resort (Bay course) in Lahaina, Maui. This par 4, 345 yard hole is a slight dogleg right with a handicap of 13. The fairway width is approximately 34 yards and there are seven bunkers strategically placed throughout the hole. However, only three percent of these bunkers are located greenside, allowing for some room for error on your approach shot.

As you tee off from the championship tees, keep in mind that this hole does not have any water hazards but it does have subtle changes in elevation that may affect your ball flight. With an average drive distance of about 217 yards, using a driver would be recommended to get as close to the green as possible.

For your approach shot, using a pitching wedge or even a sand wedge would be ideal given their distances of around 120 and 140 yards respectively. Keep an eye out for any wind conditions as they can greatly impact your shot accuracy on this open fairway.

During different seasons at this course, weather conditions may vary with temperature and altitude changes affecting ball flight. In warmer seasons such as summer and spring months when temperatures are higher and humidity levels lower than usual due to trade winds blowing through Maui's valleys towards the ocean - golfers should take note that balls will travel further than normal when hit with less force because thinner air reduces resistance against moving objects like golf balls! Conversely during colder months like winter where temperatures drop below what's considered comfortable by most people living near sea level areas; expect shots taken here on Hole #7 could fly shorter distances overall despite being struck harder since thicker air creates more drag slowing down projectiles mid-flight!

Overall, Hole #7 presents itself as a relatively straightforward par-4 with minimal trouble spots if played smartly. So remember to stay focused on executing well-placed shots while taking advantage of favorable weather conditions whenever possible!
