Challenging

The second hole at Onion Creek Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 3 that demands precision over power. At 164 yards, this hole may appear simple on the scorecard, but the small green creates a target that rewards accurate iron play and punishes wayward shots. With minimal hazards to distract the eye, golfers can focus entirely on club selection and execution, making this an excellent scoring opportunity for those who find the putting surface. The clean, uncluttered design allows players to attack the pin with confidence, though the compact green leaves little room for error on approach shots that drift off line.

Strategy Tips

Club selection is critical on this short par 3 - at only 164 yards, resist the urge to overclub and focus on accuracy over distance to find the putting surface.

Target the center of this compact green measuring 33 yards by 22 yards - with limited real estate at 4,075 square feet, precision trumps pin-hunting on your approach.

This is a true target golf hole with no fairway landing area - your tee shot must carry directly to the green or immediate surrounds, making club selection and commitment essential.

green

With the green being relatively narrow at 22 yards wide, focus on the correct side based on pin position rather than attacking tight pins that could leave difficult recovery shots.

hazard warning

While no bunkers are identified around this green, the absence of a fairway landing zone means any miss will likely result in challenging recovery shots from surrounding rough or hazards.
