As the #1 ranked PGA Tour Golfer in the world, you are about to embark on a challenging round at Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Resort (The Quarry Course). This stunning course is located in Biwabik, Minnesota 55708 and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. As we approach hole number 10, it is important to note that this hole has a handicap of 18 for all teebox types.
At first glance, this par-4 may seem straightforward with a distance of only 362 yards from the Pro tees. However, do not be fooled by its length as there are strategic elements that must be considered before making your shot. The fairway width measures at approximately 53 yards with slight curvature towards the left, creating a slight dogleg. This means that precision and accuracy will be key in order to successfully navigate this hole.
To add even more challenge to this already difficult hole, water comes into play on both sides of the fairway as well as near the green. It is crucial to choose your club wisely off the tee in order to avoid these hazards and set yourself up for an easier approach shot.
Speaking of approach shots, let's take a look at our recommended clubs based on average distances for each type: driver (~217 yards), 7 iron (~140 yards) and pitching wedge (~120 yards). For those playing from Men's or Seniors' tees, using a driver off the tee may not be necessary due to their shorter distances (347 yards for Men's; 305 yards for Seniors'). Instead, consider using either an iron or hybrid club which can provide better control and accuracy while still allowing you enough distance off the tee.
Regardless of which club you choose off the tee, it is important to keep in mind that there is only one bunker present on this hole - greenside bunkers make up no percentage of total bunkers here. Therefore, the focus should be on avoiding the water hazards and finding a good position for your approach shot.
As we approach the green, it is important to note that there are no greenside bunkers to contend with. However, this 10th hole has a large green area measuring at 10963 sq ft which may require some strategic thinking in order to make an accurate putt. The undulating terrain of this green can also add another layer of challenge so be sure to read your putts carefully.
Finally, let's consider how weather conditions may impact your shots on this hole throughout the four seasons. Being located in Minnesota means that you can expect colder temperatures and strong winds during winter months while summer brings warmer temperatures and potentially calmer winds. Altitude should also be taken into consideration as Biwabik sits at an elevation of approximately 1,500 feet above sea level.
In conclusion, hole number 10 at Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Resort (The Quarry Course) offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for all golfers regardless of their skill level. With careful club selection off the tee and precise execution on approach shots, you will have no problem tackling this par-4 successfully. Good luck!
