Hole 12 at Pine Valley Golf Club in Clementon, New Jersey is a 344-yard par 4 with a hard dogleg left. From the Championship tees, this hole requires an accurate tee shot that should favor the right side of the fairway for an optimal approach angle to the green. The fairway width averages 49 yards wide and players must avoid 6 bunkers strategically placed throughout the hole. Greenside bunkers make up 2% of total bunker count on this hole.
The green measures 9980 square feet and has subtle contours that can be difficult to read from long distances, so club selection is key here when approaching from mid-range or closer. With wind conditions varying across all four seasons, local knowledge will help golfers determine their best strategy for each shot on Hole 12 at Pine Valley Golf Club. For example, playing into a headwind will require more club than normal while playing downwind may call for less than usual depending on pin placement and other factors such as altitude and temperature changes over time of day which could affect ball flight conditions even further.
For longer hitters off the tee (driver ~217 yards), they have options to either layup short of bunkers or challenge them with driver if they feel comfortable doing so - but caution should be taken due to out-of-bounds areas around some greenside bunkers near landing zones in case drives go too far right or left! A 7 iron (~140 yards) would then provide enough distance to reach most parts of green safely without running through it; however those who hit shorter clubs like pitching wedge (~120 yards) may need multiple shots just to get there depending on how far back they are after their drive - making smart decisions about risk vs reward essential when planning your approach strategy here!
