Club Recommendations

Low Handicapper:

As a low handicapper, your main goal on this hole is to set yourself up for an eagle opportunity. With your long drive of 280+ yards, you have the advantage of being able to reach the green in two shots. Aim for the fairway off the tee to avoid any trouble and give yourself a clear shot at the green. Keep an eye on wind conditions as it may impact your ball flight on this lengthy par 4. With six bunkers scattered throughout the hole, be sure to take them into consideration when selecting your approach shot and aim for the large green.

Mid Handicapper:

For mid handicappers, this hole provides a good challenge with its length and slight dogleg left shape. With a drive distance of around 230+ yards, aim for accuracy over distance off the tee to ensure you find yourself in play and not in one of the six bunkers that line both sides of the fairway. Pay attention to wind conditions as they can greatly affect your approach shot onto this large green.

High Handicapper:

As a high handicapper, avoiding mistakes should be your top priority on this hole. With a shorter drive distance of around 200+ yards, focus on finding accuracy over distance off the tee by aiming for safe areas like fairways or layups instead of trying to hit longer shots that could potentially end up in trouble such as one of six bunkers or even out-of-bounds areas near trees lining both sides of this dogleg left hole.

Weather Conditions:

The weather at Glen Club can vary greatly throughout each season so it's important to pay attention during gameplay as altitude changes due to temperature fluctuations can also affect ball flight conditions differently from day-to-day.

Spring:

During springtime at Glen Club, temperatures are mild but winds can pick up making ball flight more difficult than usual.

Summer:

Summertime brings warmer temperatures which means the ball may travel farther, but also brings potential for stronger winds and thunderstorms.

Fall:

In the fall, cooler temperatures can lead to less distance on shots while wind conditions may remain similar to those in summer.

Winter:

During winter months at Glen Club, colder temperatures will make the ball travel shorter distances. Snow and ice can also be a factor during this time of year.

Percent of bunker on green:

With only 1% of bunkers located near or on the green, you have a good chance of avoiding them with an accurate approach shot. However, if you do find yourself in one of these green side bunkers, focus on getting out safely rather than trying risky shots that could potentially result in higher scores. Overall, aim for accuracy over distance off the tee and pay attention to weather conditions when strategizing your play on this hole.
