Hole 12 at Jimmie Austin Golf Course
Par 4 • 340 Yards • Seminole, Oklahoma
Jimmie Austin Golf Course hole 12 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands precision over power. At 340 yards, this straight-away layout may appear straightforward, but the small green complex transforms what looks like a scoring opportunity into a test of accuracy and course management. The generous fairway welcomes most tee shots, allowing golfers to focus on positioning for the critical approach. However, the compact putting surface requires a perfectly struck iron to hold the green, making club selection and distance control paramount. With no significant hazards to distract, players must resist the temptation to attack aggressively and instead prioritize finding the proper angle and distance for their approach shot, as even slight misses can leave challenging recovery shots around this demanding green complex.

This short par 4 requires precise course management off the tee. With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or long iron to stay in play rather than driver.
Avoid the temptation to bomb driver on this 340-yard hole - the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making any tee shot beyond 200 yards extremely risky.
After a conservative tee shot to the 200-yard area, you'll have approximately 140 yards remaining to a compact green. This manageable approach distance allows for precise iron play.
Target the center of this small green measuring just 22 by 25 yards. With only 3,204 square feet of putting surface, there's little margin for error on approach shots.
This 340-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
