Club Recommendations
For the low handicapper, this hole provides a great opportunity for birdie or even eagle with their long driving distance. However, they must be careful not to overdo it off the tee and potentially end up in one of the three bunkers scattered throughout the fairway. With a slight dogleg right, players should aim for the left side of the fairway to give themselves a better angle onto the green.
Mid handicappers may also have a chance at birdie on this hole if they can hit their drive around 230 yards. They too should aim for the center-left of the fairway to avoid any potential trouble spots. A well-placed second shot will leave them with an approach shot into a large green area that is relatively free from bunkers.
High handicappers should focus on playing smart and avoiding mistakes on this hole. With their shorter driving distance, they may struggle to reach par 4s in regulation but can still score well by hitting accurate shots off the tee and setting themselves up for manageable approach shots onto this generous green.
Local weather conditions at Highland Springs Municipal Golf Course are typically mild throughout all four seasons, although wind speeds may fluctuate slightly during certain times of year. Players should take note of any changes in wind direction as it could impact ball flight significantly due to its open layout.
The small percentage (3%) of bunker on green means that players do not need to worry about sand traps when approaching or putting on this hole. Instead, attention should be paid towards reading slopes and undulations on the green surface which can make putting tricky at times.
