Scoring Zone strategy for Bananacreek
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Bananacreek, the goal should be simple: two controlled shots. You don't need a perfect drive — you need a repeatable position that allows you to play your next shot with confidence.
Bananacreek rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Practice hitting from uneven stances before your round to prepare for the Palouse terrain. Always carry an extra club when playing into the wind, as the open landscape offers little protection.
