Signature Holes & Spring Playing Tips
If you’re preparing for the GBT Away Trip, be ready for a few standout challenges. The 5th hole is a classic risk-and-reward par 4—big hitters may be tempted to drive the green, but danger lurks in the form of fairway bunkers and out-of-bounds to the right. The 12th is arguably the toughest on the course: a long, doglegging par 5 that tests your ability to combine distance with accuracy. And when you get to the 18th, the pressure’s on. With water guarding the approach, it’s a dramatic and memorable finale where fortunes can swing with one shot.
To make the most of early spring conditions, keep these tips in mind:
-
Ball control is crucial: Softer ground limits roll-out, so focus on carry distance.
-
Work on your short game: Chipping and greenside bunker play will likely separate the leaders from the pack.
-
Greens: Read them carefully and adjust your pace accordingly.
