Crestview Country Club (North Course) Hole by Hole - 9th Hole

For the low handicapper, this hole offers a great opportunity to go for birdie or even eagle. With a powerful drive of 280+ yards, they can easily clear the three bunkers and set themselves up for a short approach shot to the green. However, with changes in altitude and wind conditions throughout the year, it’s important for them to pay attention to their club selection and adjust accordingly.

The medium handicapper should focus on accuracy off the tee rather than distance. A drive of around 230+ yards will still leave them with a manageable approach shot to the green. They should aim for one of two fairway bunkers that are strategically placed near each other, as this will give them an open angle towards the green.

For high handicappers, avoiding mistakes is key on this hole. With an average drive of only 200+ yards, they may struggle with clearing all three bunkers in one shot. Instead, they should aim for one fairway bunker and play it safe by hitting their second shot towards another fairway bunker that is located closer to the green.

Regardless of handicap level, players must also take into account any water hazards surrounding the hole which could add difficulty if not avoided properly. Overall though,the small percentage (5%)of bunker coverage on this particular green means golfers have more room for error when approaching their shots onto it - so long as they avoid those pesky fairway bunkers!
