Hole 6 at Rouge Park Golf Course

Par 4 • 340 Yards • Detroit, Michigan

Enhanced Content

Moderate

The sixth hole at Rouge Park Golf Course presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 340 yards, this straight-away hole invites aggressive play from the tee, but the small green demands careful consideration of approach strategy. The generous fairway provides ample landing area for most golfers, making club selection more about positioning than distance. With no significant hazards to navigate, players can focus entirely on executing a controlled tee shot that sets up the ideal angle into the compact putting surface. The diminutive green becomes the hole's primary defense, requiring pinpoint accuracy on approach shots and rewarding those who can dial in their distance control. This hole exemplifies Rouge Park's character – seemingly simple yet demanding thoughtful execution.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 75 yards of width at the 200-yard mark, favor accuracy over distance off the tee. A controlled drive to the 200-yard area sets up an ideal approach angle while avoiding the bunkers positioned at 208.7 yards.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker complex at 208.7 yards from the tee. Longer hitters should consider club selection carefully to either lay up short of this hazard or carry it completely, as the fairway remains 74 yards wide at 250 yards for those who can clear the sand.

approach

From a well-positioned drive at 200 yards, you'll have approximately 140 yards into a compact green measuring just 28 yards deep by 20 yards wide. Club up and focus on distance control, as this 3,489 square foot target requires precision.

tee shot

At only 340 yards total length, this hole rewards strategic positioning over raw power. Consider hitting a fairway wood or long iron to the 200-yard area, leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach rather than risking driver into trouble.

green

The green's narrow 20-yard width demands accurate approach shots. With limited real estate to work with, aim for the center of the green and let your putting take care of scoring opportunities rather than attacking tight pin positions.
