Hole 10 at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club is a challenging par 4 with a distance of 466 yards from the Championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 8, indicating that it is one of the more difficult holes on the course. This slight dogleg right requires precision and strategy off the tee to set up for an approach shot to a well-protected green.
The fairway width is approximately 29 yards, making it important for golfers to hit their drives accurately in order to avoid ending up in thick rough or trees.

As you approach the green, be aware that there is only one bunker on this hole and it makes up just 1% of the total greenside area. However, do not let this fool you into thinking it will be an easy shot onto the green. The small size (7216 sq ft) and undulating nature of the green make accuracy crucial when hitting your approach shot.
In addition to these challenges, weather conditions can also play a factor on Hole 10 at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club. With Williamsburg's hot summers and mild winters, temperature and humidity can greatly impact ball flight conditions throughout all four seasons. Additionally, wind speed and direction may also affect club selection and trajectory on both tee shots and approaches.
For our golfer who hits their pitching wedge around 120 yards on average, they may want to consider using a longer club such as their seven iron (140 yards) for their approach shot in order to account for any potential uphill lies or windy conditions.
Overall,Hole 10 at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club requires strategic planning off the tee as well as precise execution on your approach shot in order to score well. Keep these factors in mind while playing this challenging par four and you may just come out on top.
