Par 4 • 381 Yards • Deerfield, Illinois

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The tenth hole at Briarwood Country Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 381 yards, this straight-away design features a generous fairway that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-defended green complex. With minimal hazards cluttering the landscape, golfers can focus on course management and club selection rather than hazard avoidance. The compact green demands accurate iron play, as anything short or long will leave challenging recovery shots. This hole exemplifies Briarwood's thoughtful design philosophy, where strategic positioning trumps brute force, making it a true test of golf fundamentals and a memorable addition to the back nine.
