Hole #12 at Ballyowen Golf Club is a par 4, measuring 350 yards from the Championship tees. The fairway has a slight dogleg left and measures approximately 44 yards wide. There are four bunkers located on the hole; two of which are greenside bunkers that make up 2% of the total green area (8813 sq ft). This hole can be difficult for inexperienced golfers due to its length and tight fairway. However, experienced players may find it easier as they have more control over their shots.

When playing this hole in different seasons, weather conditions should be taken into consideration. During summer months, temperatures tend to be higher and wind speeds tend to increase making ball flight longer than usual. In winter months, temperatures drop significantly and winds become calmer resulting in shorter ball flight distances compared to other times of year.

For an average golfer who hits a driver ~217 yards, 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards off the tee box would need to hit driver off the tee box followed by a mid-iron approach shot for this hole in order to reach the green safely with enough distance remaining for an easy putt or chip onto the green.
