TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) Hole by Hole - 7th Hole

Welcome to the 7th hole at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course)! This challenging par 3 is a true test of accuracy and distance control. From the championship tees, this hole measures a daunting 207 yards, making it one of the longest par 3s on the course. The handicap for this hole is also quite high at 17, emphasizing its difficulty.

As you prepare to tee off, keep in mind that weather conditions can greatly impact your shot. During hot summer months, the ball may fly farther due to lower air density and higher temperatures. In colder winter months or on windy days, you may need to adjust your club selection accordingly.

With an average drive of 217 yards, we recommend using a driver off the tee here for maximum distance and accuracy. Aim for the center of the green as there are six bunkers strategically placed around it, with three percent of them being greenside bunkers. These hazards will come into play if you miss your target or hit too short.

The green itself is relatively large at over 10,000 square feet but beware - it has some subtle slopes that can make putting tricky. As you approach with your second shot from about 140 yards out (using a pitching wedge), be mindful of any wind that may affect your ball flight.

Overall, this hole requires precise shots and strategic thinking in order to score well. Don't let its length intimidate you - stay focused and execute each shot carefully and confidently for best results.
