Welcome to the 5th hole at TPC at Four Seasons Resort 'Las Colinas Course' in Irving, Texas. This par 3 hole is a true test of accuracy and strategy for golfers of all levels.
From the championship tees, this hole measures 174 yards and has a handicap of 17. The pro tees play at a distance of 148 yards, while the men's teebox is set at 128 yards and the women's teebox measures just 91 yards. No matter which tee you choose, this hole will challenge your skills.
The green on this hole spans an area of 6970 square feet and features two bunkers strategically placed near the front left and back right sides. These greenside bunkers make up only about five percent of the total green area but can be quite intimidating for those who find themselves in them.
As with any course in Texas, weather can vary greatly throughout each season. In the hot summer months, temperatures can reach over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity levels. This may cause your ball to fly further than expected due to lower air density. In contrast, cooler temperatures during winter months may result in shorter distances off the tee.
For an average golfer hitting driver ~217 yards off the tee, it would be wise to aim for accuracy rather than distance on this challenging par 3. A well-placed shot should leave you with a mid-iron approach into a relatively small green that slopes from back to front.
Based on inferred data provided by our PGA Tour Golfer's club distances (7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards), I recommend using either a long iron or hybrid off the tee depending on your comfort level with these clubs. For your approach shot into this elevated green surrounded by water on three sides, I suggest taking one less club than usual due to potential wind conditions as well as factoring in any elevation changes.
No matter what club you choose, be sure to take into account the potential impact of wind and altitude on your ball flight. With proper strategy and execution, this hole can be conquered by any golfer looking to improve their score at TPC at Four Seasons Resort 'Las Colinas Course'. Good luck!
