Club Recommendations
For low handicappers, the best approach on this hole is to hit a drive of at least 280 yards to set up an easy second shot. With a distance of 381 yards from the Championship teebox, it is important for high handicappers to focus on accuracy rather than distance off the tee. A drive of 200+ yards will put them in good position for their second shot. However, they should be mindful of the three fairway bunkers that are placed strategically along the left side and right side of the fairway.
The green area measures at a spacious 13542 square feet, providing ample room for both high and low handicappers to land their approach shots safely. However, with only 2% bunker coverage on the green, there is not much risk involved when aiming directly for it. High handicappers should aim to avoid any potential hazards by playing safe and hitting towards one side or another.
Throughout different seasons at Highland Springs Municipal Golf Course, players may experience varying altitudes and temperatures which can impact ball flight conditions. In colder temperatures or higher altitude during winter months, balls tend to travel shorter distances due to increased air density. On warmer days or lower altitude during summer months, balls tend to travel further due to decreased air density. Wind also plays a crucial role in determining how far your shots will carry and can make club selection challenging if not taken into account properly.
