It's a slight dogleg left with an approximate fairway width of 35 yards and 5 bunkers, 3% of which are greenside.

In terms of club selection off the tee, most golfers should consider hitting driver to take advantage of the slight dogleg left and reach as far down the fairway as possible before approaching the green. With an average drive distance around 217 yards, players should be able to hit their second shot onto or near the green if they can avoid any hazards in their way.

The approach shot into Hole 7 will vary depending on how well you hit your drive but generally speaking most golfers will want to use either a 7 iron or pitching wedge given that these clubs provide 140-120 yard distances respectively. Wind conditions may also play a factor here so pay attention to local weather patterns throughout each season; altitude could affect ball flight while temperature and wind speed can influence accuracy when swinging for this green area that measures 14924 sq ft in size.

Finally, Hole 7's green has an approximate slope rating of 12% making it slightly more challenging than average; this means that players will need to pay close attention to their line and speed when putting in order to get close enough for birdie or par opportunities.
