Thornblade Club Hole by Hole - 7th Hole

High Handicapper:

For high handicappers, the 7th hole at Thornblade Club may seem daunting with its water hazards and bunkers. However, this par 4 is manageable if played strategically. With a drive of around 200 yards, aim for the center of the fairway to avoid any potential trouble on either side. From there, a mid-iron should be enough to reach the green in regulation. Be aware of the small green size and try to leave yourself with an uphill putt for your best chance at scoring.

Medium Handicapper:

As a medium handicapper, you have some room for error on this hole but don't let that lull you into complacency. A well-placed drive of around 230 yards will set up a short iron approach shot to the green. Aim slightly left off the tee to account for the slight dogleg and avoid any potential trouble on the right side. The small green can make it challenging to hit in regulation so focus on accuracy over distance.

Low Handicapper:

For low handicappers, this par 4 offers an opportunity for birdie or even eagle with proper strategy and execution. Take advantage of your long drives by aiming towards the end of fairway where it narrows slightly before turning left towards the green. This will give you a shorter approach shot while avoiding any potential hazards along both sides of fairway. With good course management and accurate shots, you could potentially walk away from this hole with under-par score.

Weather Considerations:

The weather at Thornblade Club can vary greatly throughout different seasons but generally has mild temperatures year-round due to its southern location.

In warmer months when temperatures are higher and air density is lower, expect longer ball flights which could benefit all players on this particular hole as they navigate their way through bunkers.

However during colder months when air density is higher due cooler temperatures (especially early morning), keep in mind that your ball may not fly as far and adjust club selection accordingly to avoid coming up short on your approach shots.

Percent of bunker on green:

With only 1% of bunkers located on the green, players should focus more on avoiding fairway bunkers and water hazards off the tee rather than worrying about getting stuck in a greenside bunker. However, if you do find yourself in one of these small but tricky bunkers, be sure to use an appropriate wedge and aim for the center of the green to give yourself a chance at saving par.
