Get ready for the challenging par-3, Hole 7 at River’s Edge. Brace yourself as this hole is deceiving and demands careful consideration and skillful execution.
As you gaze down at the green, the steep downhill appearance may not concern you. Be cautious, as this hole is more complex than it initially seems. Take note of the significant vertical drop, which calls for going down two clubs based on the distance. However, for this hole, it is recommended (as an example) to hit a smooth and easy seven iron instead of a stronger eight iron. If that wasn’t enough, don’t be long, as it can lead to dreadful consequences.
Your target is the middle of the green. The entire area surrounding the green slopes aggressively to the right, and the green itself falls back toward the tee. While the water should not come into play, being too close to the right side of the green can result in the ball rolling in that direction. Beware of houses and out-of-bounds on the left as well, so striking a balance is essential.
As you prepare for your tee shot, direct your eyes towards the red fire gate on the road well behind the green. This serves as your target line, guiding your aim and helping you navigate this challenging hole.
Take time to study the provided map of the green, carefully examining the slopes and falls to enhance your understanding of its intricacies. Armed with this knowledge, you can approach Hole 7 at River’s Edge with confidence, making strategic decisions that will lead you to success.
The 150-marker is your guide, located just 139 yards from the front of the narrow, multi-tiered green. Pay attention to the uphill nature of the shot and choose your club accordingly. With an elevated green in your sights, aim for the correct tier by carefully considering the pin placement. This strategic approach will enhance your chances of landing closer to the hole and setting up a favorable birdie opportunity.
