Hole 10 at Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course)
Par 4 • 429 Yards • Olympia Fields, Illinois
The 10th hole at Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands both precision and power from the championship tees at 429 yards. This straight-away layout may appear straightforward, but its true test lies in the approach shot to a small, well-protected green complex. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, rewarding distance with a shorter iron into the green. However, the compact putting surface requires pinpoint accuracy, as missed approaches leave difficult recovery shots. With minimal hazards to distract, golfers must focus on course management and execution. This hole exemplifies Olympia Fields' reputation for rewarding strategic thinking over brute force, making it a memorable test of precision golf.

Play a controlled tee shot to the 200-yard marker where the fairway maintains 24 yards of width, giving you optimal position for your approach while avoiding the fairway bunkers positioned at 423 yards.
From a good drive position around 200-250 yards, you'll have approximately 180-230 yards remaining to a compact green measuring just 25 by 33 yards - club up and focus on accuracy over distance.
Avoid the aggressive line off the tee as bunkers positioned at 423 yards will catch longer drives that drift right, leaving you with a difficult recovery shot on this 429-yard hole.
Target the center of this relatively small 5,280 square foot green rather than attacking pins - the compact putting surface rewards conservative approach play on this demanding par 4.
Consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to the 250-yard mark where the fairway remains 24 yards wide, ensuring you stay short of trouble while setting up a manageable approach of around 180 yards.
