Challenging

The second hole at Woodholme Country Club presents a strategic par 5 that rewards both power and precision across its 539 yards. This straight-away design features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, allowing longer hitters to consider reaching the green in two. The absence of major hazards creates a deceptively simple appearance, but the challenge lies in the small, well-protected green complex that demands pinpoint accuracy on the approach. Players must carefully manage their positioning through multiple shots, as the compact putting surface punishes wayward approaches with difficult recovery shots. This hole exemplifies Woodholme's thoughtful design philosophy, where strategic thinking trumps raw distance in scoring opportunities.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area remains consistently narrow at just 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards - precision over power is crucial on this demanding par 5.

approach

With 539 yards to navigate, most players should plan for a strategic layup on their second shot, positioning themselves 100-120 yards from the green for an optimal approach angle to the compact 3,830 square foot green.

green

The green measures only 21 by 30 yards, making it a relatively small target - focus on hitting to the center of the green and taking your par rather than hunting for birdies with aggressive pin-seeking approaches.

hazard warning

Stay alert for bunkers positioned at 584.8 yards from the tee - while this seems beyond normal play, be aware of any sand hazards that could affect your approach or recovery shots around the green area.

tee shot
