Hole 9

HOLE 9 – 302/ 276/ 249/ 216 – Par 4 (The Turn)

The front nine ends with a short, risk-reward par 4 that the long hitter may try to drive. Don’t get to aggressive here as out-of-bounds runs down the right side of the hole, and the two-tiered green is surrounded by bunkers. The smart play here is a long iron or fairway wood off the tee, leaving a short iron or wedge into the green. Birdie here is great, but par is good too. Take a deep breath, as the course is about to get a lot more difficult.
