Welcome to the 9th hole at TPC at Four Seasons Resort 'Las Colinas Course' in Irving, Texas. This par 4 hole is a true test of skill and strategy, with a distance of 427 yards from the championship tees. The slight dogleg right adds an extra layer of challenge as you plan your approach.
As you step up to the tee box, take note of the fairway width which measures approximately 29 yards. With only four bunkers on this hole and greenside bunkers making up just 1% of total bunker area, accuracy off the tee will be key for avoiding trouble.
The green area spans over 7677 square feet, providing ample space for your approach shot. However, keep in mind that water comes into play on this hole so be sure to factor that into your club selection and aim.
Speaking of club selection, let's make some recommendations based on average distances for our golfer in different weather conditions throughout the year. During spring and fall when temperatures are mild and winds tend to be calmer, we suggest using a driver (~217 yards) off the tee followed by a pitching wedge (~120 yards) or possibly even a sand wedge if needed for your approach shot.
In hotter summer months when altitude may impact ball flight conditions due to higher elevation in Texas, consider dialing back slightly with a three wood instead of driver (~200-210 yards) off the tee followed by an eight iron (~140 yards) or nine iron (~130 yards) for your approach shot.
And finally during winter months when temperatures can drop significantly but winds tend to stay calmest (unless there is inclement weather), we recommend using either a three wood or hybrid club depending on personal preference (>200-210 yard range), followed by an eight iron (~140 yards).
No matter what time of year it is though, remember that this hole has been given a handicap rating of 7 which means it is considered one of the more challenging holes on the course. So stay focused, stick to your strategy and trust in your abilities as you aim for a successful round at TPC at Four Seasons Resort 'Las Colinas Course'.
