Club Recommendations

Weather: In the spring and summer, Panther Creek Country Club is known for its warm temperatures and low humidity. However, wind can play a factor on this hole, with gusts sometimes reaching up to 20 mph. During fall and winter months, players should be prepared for cooler temperatures and potentially strong winds.

Low Handicapper (280+ yards): For the low handicapper, this hole presents an opportunity for birdie or even eagle if played strategically. With their long drive distance, they should aim to hit their tee shot towards the left side of the fairway to avoid the bunkers on the right. From there, they can take advantage of their shorter approach shot to attack a pin placement that may be tucked close to one of the three bunkers guarding the green.

Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards): The mid handicapper will need precision off the tee as well as strategic club selection in order to navigate this challenging par 4. They should aim for a straight drive towards the center of the fairway and then choose their approach club carefully based on weather conditions and pin placement. If facing headwinds or crosswinds, it may be wise to lay up short of any potential hazards rather than risk going long into one of those dreaded bunkers.

High Handicapper (~200+ yards): For our high handicappers who struggle with consistency off-the-tee, this hole may prove particularly difficult due to its length combined with potential windy conditions throughout all four seasons. Their best strategy would be aiming towards left-center off-the-tee in hopes of avoiding any trouble spots on either side while still giving themselves enough room for error before reaching those pesky greenside bunkers.

Overall Strategy: No matter your handicap level or tee box used on Hole 12 at Panther Creek Country Club, it’s important to take note of weather conditions when strategizing how best to play each shot from start-to-finish. With a slight dogleg left and three bunkers, players must carefully consider their approach in order to optimize scoring potential and avoid any unnecessary risks.
