Holston Hills Country Club Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Low Handicapper (280+ yards):

Off the tee, low handicappers should aim for the left side of the fairway to avoid water on the right. With a drive over 280 yards, they have a good chance of reaching this challenging par 4 in two shots. However, precision and accuracy are crucial as there are seven bunkers guarding the green and only a small margin for error. In colder weather, players should also be aware of potential changes in ball flight due to altitude.

Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):

For mid handicappers, aiming for the left side of the fairway is still recommended off the tee to avoid water on their weaker side. With a drive around 230 yards, they may need an extra shot to reach this long par 4 in regulation. The green is well-protected by seven bunkers and requires careful approach shots for a good score. In colder weather conditions, players should consider adjustments for altitude.

High Handicapper (~200+ yards):

High handicappers should prioritize avoiding mistakes on this hole rather than trying to make eagles or birdies. Aiming towards the left side of the fairway off the tee will help them steer clear from any trouble with water hazards on their right side. With shorter drives around 200 yards, it's likely that they will need at least three shots to reach this lengthy par 4 in regulation. When playing in colder weather conditions, high handicappers must also factor in potential changes in ball flight due to altitude.

Percent of bunker on green: Green-side bunkers can be found guarding both sides of this small green area which measures just under 8000 square feet – making up only about 2% of its total size! This means that even though there are many bunkers surrounding it, there is still plenty room available if you hit your approach shot accurately.
