HOW TO PLAY IT
If reaching the green in two isn’ t an option, the layup is no walk in the park either. The space between the driver landing area and the green is severely downhill before climbing steeply back up to the green. A standard layup inside 100 yards often leaves players with an awkward, uneven stance and a blind shot to an elevated green. As a result, many members choose to lay back to 120 yards or more, where the fairway is wide and flat. It takes discipline to hit with a short club and leave a longer shot into the green, but that is the kind of strategic challenge this hole demands.
Bunkers along both sides of the fairway and near the green make accuracy a must on the signature hole at Piedmont Club.
