Enhanced Content

Moderate

The finishing hole at Giant's Ridge Golf and Ski Resort (The Quarry Course) presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 377 yards, this straight-away hole may appear generous from the tee, but the small green complex becomes the focal point of strategy. The absence of major hazards allows golfers to be aggressive with their tee shot, setting up a crucial approach to a target that penalizes anything less than accurate iron play. The compact putting surface rewards those who can dial in their distance control, making club selection critical on the approach shot. As the final test before the turn, this hole perfectly embodies The Quarry Course's philosophy of strategic golf where course management trumps raw distance.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to land around 200 yards where the fairway is still a comfortable 49 yards wide, giving you plenty of room for error while setting up the ideal approach distance.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive driver play - the fairway dramatically narrows to just 12 yards at 250 yards, making longer drives extremely risky with severe penalties for missing the short grass.

approach

From the ideal 200-yard landing zone, you'll have a manageable mid-iron approach of approximately 177 yards to attack this generous green measuring 6,486 square feet.

green

The green's substantial dimensions of 44 yards by 37 yards provide a large target, so focus on smooth tempo and solid contact rather than trying to get too precise with pin-hunting.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 102 yards from the green - if you're playing conservatively short of the fairway pinch point, ensure your approach clears these greenside hazards.
