Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
As a low handicapper, you have the power and accuracy to take on this challenging par 4. With your long drive, aim for the left side of the fairway to avoid any risk of landing in the water on the right. Your goal should be to set up an easier approach shot onto a large green with minimal bunkering. Keep in mind that altitude changes may impact ball flight conditions, so make sure to adjust accordingly.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
For mid handicappers, aiming for accuracy over distance is key on this hole. The hard dogleg left requires a well-placed tee shot towards the left side of the fairway to avoid any trouble with water or bunkers. From there, focus on hitting a solid approach shot onto the large green and avoiding any potential hazards.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
As a high handicapper, it's important to prioritize avoiding mistakes rather than trying for eagles on this hole. Focus on hitting your tee shot towards the wider part of the fairway and away from any potential hazards such as water or bunkers.
