Hole #7 -
The seventh hole is a great par 5. It combines the need for distance and accuracy flawlessly. Well-placed native bunkers demand smart shot-making from tee to green. Be as aggressive as you want or play it safe. Either way, this hole can yield some birdies. The second shot is the key to success on number 7. The aggressive player will try to blast a fairway metal or hybrid over the bunkers hoping for a hard release down to the green. But, be careful. There is a collection area left of the green and a bunker on the right. With a green that falls off on many sides, short pitches and chip shots will present quite a challenge. From the teeing ground, you get your first glimpse of downtown Raleigh.
