Club at Carlton Woods, The (Nicklaus Signature) Hole by Hole - 14th Hole

Low Handicapper:

As a low handicapper, you have the advantage of distance off the tee on this par 4. With drives averaging over 280 yards, you can confidently attack this hole and aim for the fairway bunkers to set up a shorter approach shot. The slight dogleg right allows for your natural fade to come into play, but be careful not to overcook it as there is out-of-bounds on the right side. From there, a well-placed iron or wedge onto the large green will give you an excellent chance at birdie.

Mid Handicapper:

For mid handicappers who average around 230 yards off the tee, accuracy is key on this strategic par 4. Aim for the center of the fairway and avoid any trouble with fairway bunkers or trees lining both sides. A slightly longer approach shot may be required, so choose your club wisely and focus on hitting the green in regulation. With only one percent bunker coverage on this green, take advantage of that and try to get close for a good look at birdie.

High Handicapper:

As a high handicapper who averages around 200 yards off the tee, playing smart is crucial on this challenging par 4. Focus on keeping your drive in play by aiming towards the left side of the fairway away from any potential hazards or out-of-bounds areas. From there, use caution when approaching this large green as it slopes back-to-front and has minimal protection from bunkers with only four scattered throughout its perimeter.

Local Weather Conditions:

Spring in Texas brings warm temperatures and moderate winds which may impact ball flight distances slightly compared to other seasons here at Carlton Woods Golf Club.
