Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper:
As a low handicapper, you have the distance off the tee to set yourself up for success on this challenging par 4. With an average drive of over 280 yards, you can easily clear the five strategically placed bunkers and put yourself in a good position for your approach shot. However, don't let your power get the best of you - accuracy is key on this hole with water hazards in play and a slight dogleg right. Consider adjusting your strategy based on weather conditions to optimize ball flight and increase chances of scoring well.
Mid Handicapper:
For mid handicappers hitting around 230 yards off the tee, this hole presents some challenges but also opportunities for success. The five bunkers scattered throughout the fairway may come into play if you're not careful with your shots. Play smart by aiming towards the wider part of the fairway and avoiding any unnecessary risks that could lead to trouble near water hazards or greenside bunkers. Keep an eye on weather conditions as they may impact your ball flight and adjust accordingly.
High Handicapper:
This hole can be particularly daunting for high handicappers who hit around 200 yards off the tee. With five bunkers strategically placed along with water hazards in play, it's important to focus on accuracy rather than distance here. Aim towards the wider part of the fairway and avoid any risky shots that could result in lost balls or penalties near greenside bunkers or water hazards. Be aware of weather conditions as they may affect your ball flight - consider playing more conservatively to mitigate potential mistakes.
Weather Impact:
The Glen Club is located in Glenview, Illinois where temperatures can vary greatly across four seasons - from hot summers to cold winters with significant changes in altitude due to its location near Lake Michigan.
In warmer months, higher temperatures will cause golf balls to travel further while lower temperatures will decrease distance significantly.
During colder months when winds are stronger, it's important to adjust your shots accordingly to avoid being too short or long on the green.
Additionally, changes in altitude may also impact ball flight and require adjustments in club selection. Keep these factors in mind when crafting your strategy for this challenging par 4 hole at Glen Club, The.
Percent of bunker on green:
With only 3% of bunkers located directly on the green, low handicappers have a better chance of avoiding trouble around the putting surface compared to mid and high handicappers. However, all players should be mindful of their approach shots as greenside bunkers can quickly add strokes to your scorecard if not navigated carefully. Pay attention to pin placement and aim towards safer areas of the green when possible. With proper strategy and execution, you can increase your chances of scoring well on this challenging par 4 hole at Glen Club, The.
