Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically between 200-250 yards to maximize fairway width. The fairway expands from 29 yards at the 200-yard mark to 37 yards at 250 yards, giving you an 8-yard wider target if you can carry it the extra 50 yards.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunker cluster positioned between 274-301 yards from the tee. Three bunkers guard this prime landing area at 274.5, 281.8, and 301.1 yards, making accurate distance control crucial for longer hitters attempting to get close to the green in two.

approach

With 532 total yards on this par-5, most players will face a mid-to-long iron approach after a good drive. Focus on accuracy over distance to find the putting surface, as the green offers a substantial target at 6,542 square feet.

green

The green's generous dimensions of 32 yards by 34 yards provide multiple pin positions and recovery options. Use this size advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pins, especially on approach shots from longer distances.

tee shot

As part of Quail Hollow's famous 'Green Mile' closing stretch, this par-5 demands precision from the tee. The relatively narrow fairway at 200 yards (29 yards wide) requires committed club selection - consider a 3-wood or hybrid if driver accuracy is inconsistent.
