The fairway on Hole 12 curves slightly to the right, making it important for golfers to aim their tee shots towards the left side in order to have an optimal angle for their second shot.

In terms of weather conditions, TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) experiences hot summers with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and mild winters with temperatures averaging around mid-60s. Wind can also play a factor on this course due its location near hills and valleys.
Based on average distances for our golfer using driver (~217 yards), seven iron (~140 yards), and pitching wedge (~120 yards), we recommend using driver off the tee followed by either two long irons or hybrids depending on your comfort level with those clubs. For more advanced players who can hit longer drives consistently beyond ~240+ yard range we suggest laying back off-the-tee leaving themselves no more than a 7-iron or less to the green. For approach shots, we recommend aiming for the center of the green and taking into account any potential wind conditions.
