Scoring Zone strategy for Seven Canyons
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Seven Canyons, 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.
Seven Canyons rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Carry an extra half-club less than usual to compensate for the altitude and thin air. Pay close attention to the grain on the greens, as it often pulls toward the lower elevations of the canyon floors.
