Hole 3 at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course is a challenging yet strategic par 4. From the championship tees, it measures at 381 yards and has a handicap of 11, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.
The hole features a slight dogleg right with fairway width measuring at approximately 34 yards. This means that accuracy off the tee will be crucial in setting up a good approach shot to the green.
In terms of club selection, for an average golfer who hits their driver around 217 yards, I would recommend using a hybrid or long iron off the tee to ensure they stay in play and avoid any potential hazards. The approach shot can then be made with a mid-iron or short iron depending on how far they are from the green.
Speaking of hazards, there are six bunkers strategically placed throughout this hole. However, only two percent of these bunkers are greenside which means that most golfers should not have too much trouble avoiding them on their approach shot.
The green itself measures at just under 6,000 square feet and offers some subtle undulations which could make putting tricky if you're not careful. However, as long as your approach shot lands somewhere near or on the green, you should have a decent chance for birdie or par.
When playing this hole in different weather conditions across all four seasons in San Antonio (Texas), keep in mind that altitude and temperature may impact ball flight distances slightly but nothing too significant. Wind can also play a factor here so be sure to adjust your aim accordingly when hitting into crosswinds.
Overall,Hole 3 at TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course requires precision off the tee and smart decision-making on your approach shots to score well. With proper club selection and course strategy based on weather conditions, this hole can be conquered by any golfer regardless of skill level. Good luck!
