TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) Hole by Hole - 9th Hole

Hole 9 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) is a challenging par 4, with a distance of 435 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap ranking of 1, making it one of the most difficult holes on the course.

Off the tee, players should aim for accuracy rather than distance due to the slight dogleg left and fairway width of only 36 yards. A driver may be too much club for some players as they risk hitting into one of five strategically placed bunkers along the fairway.

For an approach shot, players will need to navigate around or over greenside bunkers that make up just 1% of total bunker coverage on this hole. With an average green size of approximately 8721 square feet, precision is key in order to avoid three-putting.

Weather conditions can greatly impact scoring on this hole throughout all four seasons. In warmer months with higher temperatures and lower altitude in Texas, shots may fly further than expected and require adjustments to club selection. Conversely, cooler weather and higher altitude could result in shorter ball flight distances.

Based on average yardages provided for our golfer's clubs (driver - ~217 yards; 7 iron - ~140 yards; pitching wedge - ~120 yards), we recommend using a long iron or hybrid off the tee followed by a mid-iron or short iron approach shot depending on individual player distances and abilities.

Overall, Hole #9 at TPC San Antonio (Canyons Course) demands both accuracy and strategic decision-making from golfers if they hope to score well on this challenging par 4.
