Club Recommendations

Weather:

In the summer, Knoxville can be hot and humid with temperatures reaching into the high 90s. This can cause the ball to fly further due to decreased air density. In contrast, winter weather in Knoxville is cooler with temperatures averaging in the low 40s. The colder temperature may result in a decrease in distance for shots.

High Handicapper (200+ yards):

For high handicappers, it's important to focus on accuracy rather than distance on this hole. With a large green and only three bunkers, aim for the center of the green to avoid trouble and give yourself a chance at par or better. Be aware of any wind conditions that could impact your shot and consider clubbing up if necessary.

Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):

As a mid handicapper, you have more control over your shots but still need to take caution when approaching this hole. Depending on weather conditions and teebox type, adjust your club selection accordingly. Aim for the center of the green and trust your swing to hit it close for birdie opportunities.

Low Handicapper (280+ yards):

For low handicappers looking to make eagle on this Par 3 hole, aggressive play may be tempting but not always necessary. With only three bunkers surrounding a large green area, aiming for the center will give you ample opportunity for birdie or even eagle putts without risking trouble off the tee.

Conclusion:

Overall, regardless of handicap level or teebox type used, focusing on accuracy rather than distance is key on this hole at Holston Hills Country Club. Adjusting club selection based on weather conditions will also help optimize scoring potential while minimizing risk around relatively few bunkers.
