Hole 18 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course is a challenging par-4 that requires both precision and distance off the tee. From the championship tees, this hole measures 450 yards, making it one of the longer holes on the course. The slight dogleg left shape of the fairway adds an extra element of strategy to this hole.
The key to success on Hole 18 lies in finding the narrow fairway with your tee shot. With only a width of 36 yards, accuracy is crucial here. For our average golfer who hits a driver around 217 yards, we recommend aiming for the right side of the fairway to avoid any potential hazards on the left.
Once you've successfully navigated your tee shot, you'll be faced with a long approach shot into this large green measuring at approximately 12,160 square feet. This means that even if you miss slightly off target with your approach shot, there's still plenty of room to land safely on the green.
However, don't let its size fool you - this green is well protected by four bunkers strategically placed around it. While greenside bunkers make up for zero percent of total bunker coverage on this hole according to course statistics, they can still come into play and add some difficulty when trying to save par or make birdie.
In terms of weather conditions throughout each season at George W. Dunne National Golf Course, altitude and temperature may have minimal impact due to its location in Oak Forest, Illinois which has relatively mild temperatures year-round. However, wind can be a factor as it is known for being windy in Illinois during certain seasons such as spring and fall.
Overall,Hole 18 demands precision and strategic thinking from both tee-to-green in order to score well no matter what time of year you are playing it at George W.Dunne National Golf Course.
