Tough

The second hole at Crestview Country Club (South Course) presents a classic par 5 opportunity that rewards aggressive play while demanding precision. This straight 563-yard test stretches across rolling Kansas terrain, offering golfers a legitimate birdie chance with proper course management. The absence of major hazards creates a deceptively inviting layout that encourages players to open their shoulders off the tee, yet the small green complex demands surgical accuracy on the approach.

The compact green rewards those who can control distance and trajectory, making this hole a true test of a golfer's ability to execute under pressure when birdie beckons.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Focus on accuracy over distance off the tee, as the fairway remains consistently narrow at just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. A controlled drive with a 3-wood or hybrid may be the smarter play to ensure you stay in the short grass.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 208 yards from the tee, which sit right in the typical driver landing zone. Club selection should account for either laying up short of these hazards or carrying them completely.

approach

green

The green measures 26 by 25 yards (3,912 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target for your approach shots. This square-shaped green offers decent margin for error, but precision is still important given the length of shots you'll likely be hitting into it.

tee shot
