Hole 6 at Shell Landing Golf Club

Par 4 • 401 Yards • Gautier, Mississippi

Enhanced Content

Challenging

Shell Landing Golf Club's sixth hole presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 401 yards, this straight-away layout appears inviting from the tee, offering golfers a clear view of their target with no significant hazards to navigate around. The generous fairway encourages an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge reveals itself on the approach to the small green complex. With limited target area to work with, approach shots require careful club selection and precise distance control. The compact putting surface rewards accurate iron play while punishing wayward approaches with difficult recovery shots. This hole epitomizes strategic golf design, where successful scoring depends on disciplined course management rather than heroic shot-making.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This hole demands precision off the tee as the fairway completely disappears at the 250-yard mark. Position your drive around 200 yards where you'll have a generous 49-yard wide landing area to work with.

approach

From the optimal 200-yard tee shot position, you'll face a 201-yard approach to a substantial green measuring 6,281 square feet. This gives you room to be aggressive with mid-to-long irons.

green

The green's rectangular shape at 28 yards wide by 41 yards deep offers multiple pin positions. Use the generous depth to your advantage by playing to the center of the green for the safest approach.
