TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas Hole by Hole - 9th Hole

Hole 9 at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 421 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 9, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot requires precision and strategy as there are five bunkers strategically placed along the fairway and greenside. The slight dogleg right adds an extra challenge to this already tough hole.

In terms of club selection for the tee shot, I would recommend using a driver for longer hitters, but shorter hitters may want to consider using a hybrid or long iron to ensure they stay in play and avoid any trouble off the tee. With an average drive distance of around 217 yards, most golfers should have no problem reaching this green in regulation with their second shot.

The approach shot will require accuracy as well since there is water located just short and left of the green. It's important to take into account local weather conditions when choosing your club for this approach shot. In hot temperatures or high altitude, you may need to adjust your club selection accordingly due to changes in ball flight.

The green itself is relatively small at only 5803 square feet and has very little curvature compared to other holes on the course. However, with only two percent bunker coverage on the green itself, golfers can focus more on their putting rather than worrying about avoiding sand traps.

Overall, Hole 9 at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas is a challenging yet strategic hole that requires precise shots off both the tee and approach in order to score well. Keep these tips in mind while playing this hole during different seasons throughout the year so you can optimize your performance based on varying weather conditions.
