Par 4 • 369 Yards • Biwabik, Minnesota

Enhanced Content

Moderate

Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Resort (The Quarry Course) hole 6 presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 at 369 yards that demands precision over power. This straight-away layout may appear benign from the tee, but the small green complex creates the primary challenge for approach shots. The generous fairway allows golfers to find their rhythm with driver or long iron, but course management becomes crucial as players near the putting surface. Without significant hazards to navigate, success hinges entirely on distance control and pin-seeking accuracy into the compact target. The hole rewards strategic thinking and solid execution, making it a true test of iron play that can quickly turn a routine par into a frustrating bogey for those who underestimate its subtle demands.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

green
