Quick Caddie Tip

This short par 4 looks driveable for the long hitters, but danger lurks on both sides and a pond waits for anything pulled off line. The smart play is a controlled shot to the fat part of the fairway.

Field Notes

Hole #7 is short on the card but full of temptation. Long hitters may be tempted to go for the green, but trouble lurks left and right.

A pond guards the hole and can catch an errant drive, while the green itself is small and firm and does not forgive a careless approach.

  • The pond can catch a pulled or badly sliced tee shot. Stay centered.
  • A fairway wood or hybrid down the middle leaves a full, comfortable wedge in.
  • The green is small and firm, so take a number you trust rather than forcing it close.
  • The hole plays downhill, so it will feel shorter than the yardage suggests.

Putting Tips

This green is small and can run quick given the steep downhill approach into it.

  • Firm, quick greens like this one call for a soft touch on the first putt.
  • Downhill putts can run well past if you are not committed to speed control.
  • Because the green is small, most misses leave a short, makeable second putt.
  • Take the downhill approach into account. Putts often break more than they appear to.
