Caves Valley Golf Club Hole by Hole - 7th Hole

Hole 7 at Caves Valley Golf Club is a 564 yard par 5 from the championship tees. This slight dogleg right requires a strategic tee shot to set up an approach shot into the large, 14310 square foot green. The fairway width of 38 yards provides plenty of room off the tee for golfers to hit their driver or fairway wood, though be sure to avoid the seven bunkers that line this hole. Greenside bunkers account for 3% of total bunker count on this hole and should be avoided as they can lead to difficult up and down attempts.

As you approach Hole 7 in different seasons, keep in mind how altitude, temperature and/or wind may impact ball flight conditions. During summer months when temperatures are higher, your ball will fly farther than during winter months when temperatures are cooler. In addition, winds tend to pick up during spring and fall which can also impact your distance control with each club selection.

For players hitting a driver ~217 yards, a 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards (as seen in chart), I would recommend playing safe off the tee with either an iron or hybrid depending on wind direction before attempting your second shot with either another iron or hybrid setting up an easy pitch onto the green for birdie attempt!
