The plan for No. 10
Pete Dye Golf Club hole 10 unfolds as a demanding par 4 that bends sharply right, forcing golfers to commit early to a strategic tee shot. Stretching 468 yards, this dogleg right tests both nerve and precision, with water lurking along the left side ready to punish any pull or overly aggressive line seeking to shorten the hole. The ideal tee shot favors the right portion of the fairway, opening a cleaner angle into the green complex. From there, the approach shot demands accuracy, as Dye's signature deception makes distances tricky to judge. It's a hole where course management outweighs power—patience and precision define success here.
Off the tee
Off the tee, prioritize accuracy over raw distance. Pete Dye's design philosophy at his namesake club rewards a ball shaped away from his signature bunker complexes and abrupt elevation changes, so favor a 3-wood or long iron that keeps you in the fairway rather than forcing a driver into a tightening landing area. Take note of the hole's contours before committing — a controlled draw or fade that matches the natural shape of the fairway will set up a far better angle than brute strength.
Approach & recovery
Your approach shot should be dictated by pin position and any visible green-side hazards. Dye greens are notoriously firm and fast with subtle breaks, so take enough club to carry any bunkering short of the green and plan to land the ball on the correct tier or quadrant rather than firing directly at the flag. When in doubt, aim for the fat, safe part of the green. Around the green, be conservative with your first chip or pitch — Dye's collection areas and closely mown run-offs punish aggressive, high-risk recovery shots. Use a bump-and-run when the lie allows, letting the ball release toward the hole rather than trying to fly it close.
On the green
Above all, avoid short-siding yourself. Missing on the side with the most green to work with is always the smarter play, even if it means a longer birdie putt. Patience here beats heroics.
