As a low handicapper, you have the distance and accuracy to make this Par 3 hole at Highland Springs Municipal Golf Course an easy birdie opportunity. With tee distances ranging from 168 yards to 114 yards, it’s important to choose your club wisely based on wind direction and strength.

Weather conditions can greatly impact ball flight and should be taken into consideration before selecting your club. During summer months when temperatures are high and winds are calm, expect longer carry distances with less roll out. In contrast, during winter months when temperatures are lower and winds are stronger, expect shorter carry distances with more roll out.

Playing Strategy for Medium Handicappers:

With tee distances ranging from 154 yards to 137 yards depending on which tee box is used, it’s important to take note of wind direction and strength before making your shot selection. The single bunker on this hole is located near the front of the green so be sure not to overshoot as it could result in a difficult up-and-down situation.

In addition to weather considerations mentioned above for low handicappers, keep in mind that altitude can also impact ball flight at this course due its location in Rock Island Illinois which has an elevation of approximately 600 feet above sea level.

Playing Strategy for High Handicappers:

High handicappers should approach this Par 3 hole at Highland Springs Municipal Golf Course with caution as there is only one bunker but it’s positioned near the front of the green where most shots will land. With tee distances ranging from 137 yards to 114 yards, it’s important to choose a club that you are comfortable hitting consistently and accurately.

During fall months when temperatures are cooler and winds are stronger, expect even shorter carry distances with more roll out than during summer months.
