Enhanced Content

Tough

The number one handicap hole at Woodholme Country Club, this 445-yard par 4 demands precision and power from the championship tees. With no significant hazards to distract the eye, this deceptively challenging straight hole relies on length and accuracy to test even the most skilled players. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge awaits at the small, subtly contoured green that punishes wayward approach shots. Smart course management becomes crucial on this risk-reward hole, where distance control on the second shot separates good scores from great ones. A true test of golf fundamentals that exemplifies why Woodholme Country Club has earned its reputation as a premier Maryland golf destination.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to land around the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest point of 24 yards, giving you the best angle and room for error before the fairway dramatically narrows.

tee shot

Avoid going for maximum distance off the tee - the fairway pinches down to just 12 yards wide at 250 yards, making longer drives extremely risky and likely to find trouble.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 330 yards from the tee - even a well-struck drive that finds the narrow fairway at 250 yards leaves you with an 80-yard approach over these hazards.

approach

Plan for a mid-to-long iron approach shot on this 445-yard par 4 - laying back to 200 yards off the tee leaves approximately 245 yards to a green that measures 25 yards deep by 22 yards wide.

green

The green's compact size of 3,226 square feet (25x22 yards) demands precision on your approach shot - focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions to avoid short-siding yourself.
