Club Recommendations

Playing Tips for Low Handicappers:

As a low handicapper, you have the distance and accuracy to take on this challenging par 4. With your drive averaging over 280 yards, you can easily reach the fairway from the Men's tee. However, be mindful of the slight dogleg right as it may require some shot shaping in order to avoid ending up in one of the four strategically placed bunkers. Once on the fairway, focus on keeping your approach shot straight and avoiding any risky plays near or around the green. With only 2% of bunker coverage on this green, you should feel confident in aiming for an eagle opportunity.

Playing Tips for Mid Handicappers:

For mid handicappers who average around 230 yards off their drives, playing smart is key on this hole. From the Women's tee box measuring at 384 yards, aim to hit a straight drive that will leave you with a manageable approach shot onto the green. Avoiding any risky shots near or around bunkers is crucial for scoring well here. Keep in mind that there are no water hazards to worry about so don't let that add any unnecessary pressure.

Playing Tips for High Handicappers:

High handicappers should focus on playing safe and avoiding mistakes on this par 4 hole. With an average drive distance of around 200 yards, aim to keep your ball straight and out of trouble by staying clear from bunkers which make up only 2% of bunker coverage on this hole's green area. The slight dogleg right may pose as a challenge but remember that there are no water hazards to worry about so play conservative and aim for a solid score.

Weather Considerations:

Located in Glenview Illinois where temperatures can vary greatly between seasons ranging from hot summers (average high:82°F) to cold winters (average low:17°F), players should take into account how temperature affects their ball flight when playing at The Glen Club. Additionally, with an altitude of 646 feet above sea level and wind speeds that can reach up to 10mph, players should adjust their club selection accordingly in order to optimize their shots on this challenging par 4 hole.
