TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) Hole by Hole - 10th Hole

Hole 10 is a challenging par 4 that measures 400 yards from the championship tees at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course. The hole has a handicap of 14, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. This hard dogleg right features a narrow fairway with an average width of only 38 yards, which requires accuracy off the tee to avoid potential trouble.

During the summer months in San Antonio, players can expect hot and humid weather with temperatures reaching into the high 90s. The altitude and temperature may impact ball flight conditions, so be sure to take this into consideration when selecting clubs for your tee shot and approach.

For most golfers hitting from these tees, a driver will likely be too much club as it could potentially roll through the fairway into rough or even worse - bunkers. Instead, consider using a shorter club such as a hybrid or long iron to ensure accuracy off the tee.

The second shot on this hole will require precision as well since there are seven bunkers strategically placed around the green. However, greenside bunkers only make up about one percent of total bunker coverage on this hole. Depending on pin placement and wind conditions, you may want to consider aiming for specific parts of the green or playing more conservatively by laying up short instead of risking landing in one of these hazards.

With an average green size measuring just over 4,450 square feet and some undulation present, choosing an appropriate club for your approach shot is crucial to setting yourself up for success on this hole. For most golfers hitting from these tees who hit their pitching wedge ~120 yards, you'll likely need at least one extra club (7-iron) to reach this elevated green comfortably.

Overall Hole #10 offers both challenges and opportunities depending upon how well you execute your shots off each tee box while considering local weather conditions during all four seasons. With a little extra strategy and careful club selection, you can navigate this hole successfully and set yourself up for a strong start to the back nine at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course.
