Challenging

Southern Highlands Golf Club hole 6 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that rewards precision over power. This straight 397-yard test features a generous fairway that invites aggressive tee shots, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. The absence of major hazards might fool players into complacency, yet the compact putting surface demands surgical accuracy with your iron play. Distance control becomes paramount as the green's subtle undulations can quickly turn a good approach into a difficult two-putt scenario. This hole exemplifies Southern Highlands' strategic design philosophy, where course management and smart club selection trump brute force, making it a true test of golf strategy and execution.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway with your tee shot, as the fairway widens significantly from 39 yards at the 200-yard mark to 55 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker cluster around 340-351 yards from the tee - while most golfers won't reach these with their drive, they'll come into play on your approach shot to this 397-yard par 4.

approach

From a good drive position around 250 yards, you'll have roughly 147 yards remaining to a compact green measuring just 25 yards deep by 21 yards wide - precision is key with mid-iron approach shots.

green

The green's modest size of 3,061 square feet demands accuracy on your approach - aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as there's limited room for error on this compact target.

hazard warning

Watch for the bunker positioned at 243.7 yards from the tee, which could catch longer drives that drift off-line, potentially leaving you with an awkward angle for your approach to this narrow green.
