Mixed yardages, typically mid-to-long irons
Wind-exposed → can play over par depending on conditions
Par 4s (11)
Range: ~360–480 yards
Majority play at or slightly over par
A few shorter holes offer wedge opportunities — must convert
Par 5s (3)
All reachable depending on wind
Clear scoring holes: birdie or you’re losing ground
Eagle chances present but require precise second shots
What It Demands
Ball flight control > raw distance
Strong wedge + short iron proximity
Bermuda scrambling when greens are missed
Comfort playing in coastal wind variability
Ability to capitalize on Par 5s while avoiding big numbers elsewhere
Champ’s Insights
You’ll see players hang around even without elite distance, and then separate with clean wedges and smart misses. Opposite-field events tend to reward well-rounded grinders over star power, and this track leans into that even more. This sets up as a “who stays patient in the wind” type of event.
Harbour Town is precision through trees, Myrtle Beach is precision through air — same emphasis on control, just a different test.
Expect volatility early if wind blows, then a leaderboard that rewards guys who limit mistakes and stack up plenty of birdies where four rounds in the 60s will be paramount.
