Hole 6 Discussion

Hole 6 is a par 4 that will be reachable by many. The hole should be an easy par, but due to ingenious design, many will make obviously mistakes.

The two biggest concerns in going for the green are the out-of-bounds all along on the right side, and the large bunker short of the green that will catch most shots that don’t carry the green. In addition, the green slopes away from the tees, so even a drive that lands the green may easily run off the back.

To play in regulation, focus on leaving an ideal wedge into the green. The bunker may tempt the play to add length, but the center of the green is only 20 yards front to back. Flying the green is very dangerous, and any longer iron may also run off the back.
