Club Recommendations

For low handicappers, the 523 yard distance from the Championship teebox may entice them to go for an eagle attempt. However, with a slight dogleg left and only 1% of bunker on the green, it may be more beneficial to play safe and aim for a birdie instead. A drive of at least 280 yards is recommended in order to have a clear shot at the green. From there, strategically placing shots around the fairway bunkers will set up players nicely for a short approach shot onto the large green.

Mid-handicappers should also take caution when attempting an eagle on hole 15. With distances ranging from 406-515 yards depending on teebox choice, they should prioritize accuracy over distance off the tee. Aim for a drive of approximately 230+ yards in order to avoid any potential hazards or rough areas that could lead to bogeys or worse.

High handicappers should focus on avoiding mistakes rather than trying to make eagles on this challenging par 5 hole. With drives averaging around 200+ yards, they should aim for placement over power off the tee and focus on hitting their second shot into a good position for their third shot onto the green. The wide fairway provides some room for error but beware of potential water hazards near the end of it.

When considering weather conditions throughout different seasons at Highland Springs Municipal Golf Course, keep in mind that altitude can impact ball flight due to its location above sea level. Additionally, strong winds can come into play as well as colder temperatures during winter months which may affect club distances and require adjustments in strategy accordingly.
