Scoring Zone strategy for Eagle Springs
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Eagle Springs, 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.
Eagle Springs rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Practice hitting from sidehill and downhill lies before starting your round. Use the yardage markers to verify distances, as the elevation changes can make targets appear closer or further than they are. Keep the ball below the hole on the more severely tilted greens.
