Jimmie Austin Golf Course Hole by Hole - 1st Hole

Playing Tips for Low Handicappers (280+ yards):

As a low handicapper, you have the distance and skill to potentially reach this 546 yard par 5 in two shots. However, be mindful of the slight dogleg left and take advantage of the wide fairway by aiming towards the right side. This will give you a better angle for your approach shot into the green. Keep an eye on wind conditions as it can play a significant role in your ball flight.

Playing Tips for Mid Handicappers (~230+ yards):

For mid handicappers, this hole may not be reachable in two shots but that shouldn't stop you from scoring well. Aim towards the center or slightly right side of the fairway off the tee to avoid any trouble on either side. Consider laying up with your second shot to leave yourself with a short iron into the green. Pay attention to wind direction and adjust accordingly.

Playing Tips for High Handicappers (~200+ yards):

High handicappers should focus on avoiding mistakes on this long par 5. Aim towards the wider part of the fairway off the tee and consider laying up with your second shot if needed. Remember, playing safe is often more beneficial than taking unnecessary risks that could result in big numbers.

Local Weather:

The weather at Jimmie Austin Golf Course varies greatly throughout each season due to its location in Oklahoma. In spring and summer months, temperatures can reach high levels which may cause balls to fly further than expected at higher altitudes.

In fall and winter months, cooler temperatures may cause balls to fly shorter distances so keep that in mind when selecting clubs.

Percent of Bunker on Green:
