Hole 12 at Golf Club of Houston is a 222-yard par 3 that plays slightly uphill from the Championship tees. This hole has two bunkers, which are located greenside and comprise 2% of the total green area. The fairway is wide open for your tee shot, but be sure to factor in wind speeds when selecting a club, as they can change dramatically depending on the season. In summer months, temperatures tend to be higher and winds usually pick up in the afternoon; while during winter months you may encounter cooler temperatures with less wind. At 217 yards from the Pro tees and 196 yards from Men's tees, this hole will likely require either an 8 iron or 7 iron for most golfers. From Senior Women's tees at 129 yards, this hole should be reachable with a pitching wedge or 9 iron depending on conditions.
