Hole 12 at Caves Valley Golf Club is a 182-yard par 3 that plays from the Championship tees. It requires an accurate tee shot to avoid the three greenside bunkers which make up 27% of the total green area. The green itself is 8690 sq ft, making it one of the larger on this course. From the championship tees, golfers will need to hit a mid-iron or hybrid in order to reach the putting surface in regulation. In addition to being aware of club selection, players should also take into account weather conditions when playing Hole 12; with its elevated tee box and open surroundings, wind can be a major factor here. During summer months temperatures can soar and cause balls to fly further than expected while winter months may require more club due to colder temperatures and less ball flight distance. Ultimately Hole 12 at Caves Valley Golf Club offers golfers an opportunity for birdie if they execute their shots appropriately given local weather conditions and strategic placement around the greenside bunkers.
