Due to the course’s location in Olympia Fields, Illinois, golfers can expect varying weather conditions throughout the year. In springtime, temperatures range from cool to mild with occasional rain showers while summer brings hot temperatures and humid air that can affect ball flight distances. Fall offers cooler days with breezy winds that could add extra challenge when playing this hole. Winters are cold but dry with potential snowfall impacting playability on some days. Golfers must take into account these changing conditions when selecting their clubs off the tee box as well as when approaching the green for their second shot.
The ideal club selection off of this tee box is a 7 iron or pitching wedge depending on wind direction and strength; however if you are able to hit your driver 217+ yards consistently then it may be possible to reach this green in one shot using a driver or 3 wood depending on pin placement relative to yardage markers located around the course perimeter. When hitting your approach shots towards this fairly large green complex, keep in mind that there are three greenside bunkers guarding each side of it making accuracy essential for setting up birdie opportunities or avoiding bogeys/doubles/triples altogether!
