Enhanced Content

Tough

The second hole at White Horse Golf Club presents a classic straight-away par 4 that demands precision over power. At 439 yards, this mid-length hole features a generous fairway that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. With minimal hazards to navigate, golfers can focus on course management and shot execution rather than avoiding trouble. The compact green requires accurate iron play, as missing the target leaves challenging up-and-down opportunities from the surrounding slopes. This hole rewards strategic thinking and solid fundamentals, making it a true test of golf's essential skills while offering birdie opportunities for those who execute properly.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a controlled tee shot around 200-220 yards to stay in the fairway sweet spot, as the fairway maintains a consistent 12-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard markers, requiring precision over distance.

approach

From 200 yards out, you'll face a long iron or hybrid approach into a relatively small green measuring just 24 by 32 yards - club up and aim for the center to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 456 yards from the tee - while beyond the green, these likely guard the back or sides and could catch aggressive approach shots on this 439-yard hole.

green

With only 3,656 square feet of putting surface, this green offers limited bailout areas - prioritize accuracy over aggression on your approach to avoid difficult up-and-downs.

tee shot

Consider laying up with a 3-wood or long iron off the tee to ensure you stay within the narrow 12-yard fairway corridor, leaving yourself a manageable mid-iron approach rather than risking the rough with driver.
