This hole can be challenging due to local weather conditions in Pikesville that vary throughout each season. In summer months, temperatures tend to be warmer and more humid with higher altitudes causing ball flight conditions to have less lift while winter months bring cooler temperatures and lower altitudes resulting in increased lift off the clubface. Wind also plays an important factor as gusts can affect trajectory and distance control when playing this hole.

For players hitting a driver around 217 yards, you'll want to aim just left or right of center depending on wind direction so your ball lands short of the green but still within range for your approach shot. For those using men’s or women’s tee boxes, a 7 iron should provide enough carry distance while avoiding any potential hazards like water or bunkers near the green surface. Finally, if you find yourself slightly off target after your approach shot then consider using a pitching wedge as it will give you optimal control over spin rate and trajectory allowing you to hit closer shots towards pin locations than other clubs in your bag would allow at this point in time
