Rock Spring Club Hole by Hole - 3rd Hole

Hole 3 at Rock Spring Club is a challenging par 3, with a distance of 201 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 9, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. From the tee box, golfers will need to navigate their ball over various bunkers and hazards in order to reach the green.

The tee shot for this hole requires precision and accuracy. With an average drive distance of 217 yards, most golfers will likely use a long iron or hybrid club off the tee. However, depending on weather conditions such as wind or temperature, some may opt for a driver in order to carry any potential hazards.

The approach shot is just as crucial as the tee shot on this hole. With only one bunker located greenside (10% of total), it's important for golfers to avoid being short or long on their approach shot in order to steer clear of trouble and give themselves a chance at birdie or par.

Throughout different seasons at Rock Spring Club, players can expect varying weather conditions that may impact their game. In colder temperatures during winter months, balls tend to fly shorter distances due to denser air and lower altitude levels. On hotter days during summer months however, balls may travel further due to thinner air and higher altitudes.

For average hitters who hit around 140 yards with their seven iron and around 120 yards with their pitching wedge, they should aim for landing their shots just short of the green in order to roll up onto it safely without risking going too far past it into danger.

Overall Hole #3 presents itself as quite challenging but manageable if approached strategically by taking note of both weather conditions throughout each season along with precise club selection when hitting both off-the-tee & approaching shots towards its well guarded green complex.
