Rock Spring Club hole 7 presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 377 yards, this straight-away hole invites aggressive tee shots down a generous fairway corridor, but the real challenge emerges on the approach to a small, well-defended green complex.

This hole epitomizes Rock Spring Club's design philosophy—strategic golf that tests course management skills while providing birdie opportunities for those who execute their game plan flawlessly.
