What tees should I play at The Links at Lakehouse?

The Links at Lakehouse plays from the Blue tees at 6,398 yards (rating 71, slope 126). A useful rule of thumb: if that total yardage is more than 25 times your average driver carry, expect long approach clubs all day and plan your round around bogey golf rather than forcing pars.

How do you play the signature holes at The Links at Lakehouse?

Hole 4 at The Links at Lakehouse is a 447-yard par 4 that plays as the 1st-handicap hole. As the hardest-rated hole on the scorecard, treat par as a good score here — a bogey on hole 4 costs you less than a double made chasing a hero shot. At 447 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: Max out with 3W right-side aim; 6i approach started right, let the draw do the work.

Hole 6 at The Links at Lakehouse is a 163-yard par 3 that plays as the 17th-handicap hole. At 163 yards, club selection matters more than power: pick the club that covers the front of the green and swing within yourself. Local note: Smooth 8i aimed right-center; the draw brings it back — avoid the aggressive pin hunt.

Hole 10 at The Links at Lakehouse is a 460-yard par 4 that plays as the 4th-handicap hole. At 460 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: 3W right side; 6i aimed right of the green — big draw walks it back onto the surface.

Hole 12 at The Links at Lakehouse is a 606-yard par 5 that plays as the 2nd-handicap hole. At 606 yards, this is a true three-shot hole for most players. Lay up to a full-wedge distance rather than forcing a long second toward trouble. This is the longest hole on the course, so discipline off the tee matters most here. Local note: Three-shot strategy: 3W, 5i layup, wedge in — don't force it; attack on shot three.

Who is The Links at Lakehouse a good course for?
