Hole 7 at Lehigh Country Club presents a formidable par 3 that demands precision from tee to green. This long one-shotter tests a golfer's ability to control distance and trajectory under pressure. Club selection and commitment to the shot are paramount for scoring well here.

Lehigh Country Club hole 7 stands as a formidable test of pure ball-striking, demanding accuracy over deception. At 221.0 yards, this par 3 offers no room for strategic maneuvering—only a straight, unwavering challenge from tee to green. Twin greenside bunkers guard the putting surface, ready to swallow any approach shot that drifts off-line, while dense woods lurk along the right side, punishing those who push their tee shot away from trouble.

The visual intimidation of this hole comes from its raw length combined with the tightly bunkered green complex, forcing golfers to commit fully to their club selection. Despite its modest handicap ranking of 15, this hole rewards precision and punishes hesitation, making it a memorable one-shot challenge where solid contact matters more than clever strategy.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 221 yards, this par 3 demands a long-iron or hybrid for most players. Club up rather than short—two bunkers sit at 211.3 and 208.6 yards, positioned to catch shots that come up just short of the putting surface.

hazard warning

The bunker pairing at 208.6 and 211.3 yards creates a narrow gap that penalizes any shot landing short of the green. Favor a club selection that carries at least 215-220 yards to clear this hazard zone safely.

green

The medium-sized green (6,312 sq ft, playing 30 yards wide by 38 yards deep) offers a reasonably generous target, but pin position matters greatly—back pins add nearly 10 extra yards of required carry compared to front placements.

tee shot

Higher-handicap players should consider playing to the fat, safe portion of the green rather than attacking pins tucked near the 208-211 yard bunker line, prioritizing bogey avoidance on this demanding long par 3.
