Par 5 • 571 Yards • San Antonio, Texas

Enhanced Content

Tough

TPC San Antonio's second hole presents a strategic par 5 that rewards aggressive play while punishing careless execution. At 571 yards, this straight-away layout appears deceptively simple from the tee, but the small green complex demands precision on the approach. The generous fairway encourages drivers to open up their shoulders, yet positioning becomes critical for the optimal angle into the diminutive putting surface. Without major hazards to navigate, golfers can focus purely on distance control and green-reading skills. The hole's true defense lies in its compact target - miss the green in regulation, and up-and-down becomes a stern test of short game finesse, making this a classic risk-reward opportunity.
