Hole 10 at Briarwood Country Club
Par 4 • 381 Yards • Deerfield, Illinois
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.

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider using a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to find the narrow landing zone rather than driver.
Bunkers positioned at 214.8 yards from the tee sit right in the prime landing area for most drives. Plan your tee shot distance carefully to either lay up short or carry well beyond this hazard.
After a conservative tee shot to avoid the bunkers, you'll face a mid-to-long iron approach into this 381-yard par 4. The key is positioning your drive for the best angle into the green.
The green measures 29 by 30 yards, providing a reasonably sized target for your approach shot. With 4,526 square feet of putting surface, you have room to work with, but pin position will dictate your strategy.
The consistent 12-yard fairway width from 200 to 250 yards means there's no advantage to bombing a driver - focus on finding the fairway with a controlled shot that sets up your preferred approach distance.
This 381-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
