Hole 7 at Blue Hills Country Club
Par 4 • 417 Yards • Kansas City, Missouri
Blue Hills Country Club hole 7 presents a strategic par 4 that rewards precision over power on this 417-yard test. The straight layout may appear straightforward, but the absence of major hazards places premium emphasis on course management and accurate shot-making. From the tee, players face a generous fairway that invites confident swings, yet the real challenge emerges on the approach shot to a small, well-defended green complex. The compact putting surface demands pinpoint accuracy with mid-irons, as missing the target leaves challenging recovery shots. This deceptively simple hole at Blue Hills exemplifies how strategic design can create memorable golf without relying on dramatic hazards, making position and precision the keys to scoring success.

Target a controlled tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - accuracy is more important than distance on this tight driving hole.
Beware of bunkers positioned at 262 yards - aggressive drivers who try to bomb it past the narrow fairway section risk finding sand.
After a 200-yard tee shot, you'll face a 217-yard approach to a generous 6,198 square foot green - take enough club to reach the putting surface.
Consider laying up short of the 250-yard mark where the fairway remains just 12 yards wide - even a 220-yard tee shot leaves a manageable approach.
The large 32x32 yard green offers multiple pin positions - aim for the center of this 6,198 square foot target to avoid three-putts.
This 417-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
