Rock Spring Club Hole by Hole - 12th Hole

Hole 12 at Rock Spring Club is a short par 4 that requires precision and strategy to score well. From the championship tees, this hole measures 342 yards and has a handicap of 16. The fairway width is approximately 42 yards, with slight curvature towards the right. This slight dogleg right makes it important for golfers to place their tee shot in the correct position in order to have an optimal approach shot.

The green area on this hole is spacious, measuring at 9611 square feet, but do not be fooled by its size as there are four bunkers strategically placed around the green complex. These greenside bunkers make up only 5% of the total bunker count on this hole, but they can still pose a challenge for players looking to make birdie or par.

When approaching this hole during different seasons and weather conditions, it is important to take note of any changes in altitude or wind that may impact ball flight. With an average driver distance of 217 yards and pitching wedge distance of 120 yards for our golfer, club selection will vary depending on these factors.

For most golfers playing from the championship tees, using a driver off the tee may not be necessary due to its length being shorter than other holes on this course. A safer option would be hitting a long iron or hybrid off the tee to ensure accuracy and avoid any potential hazards such as water or bunkers.

On their approach shot into the green, our golfer should aim for placement rather than distance due to its relatively short yardage. Depending on wind conditions and pin placement, using either a pitching wedge or sand wedge could provide optimal results for getting close to the pin.

Overall, Hole #12 at Rock Spring Club offers an opportunity for birdie if played strategically with accurate shots off both tee and approach shots onto one of its largest greens on course while avoiding trouble spots like bunkers surrounding the green complex.
