How do you play the signature holes at Mount Whitney Golf Club?
Hole 2 at Mount Whitney Golf Club 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: Play 8i aimed right of flag — your draw brings it back to the pin.
Hole 4 at Mount Whitney Golf Club is a 418-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 418 yards, a fairway-finder off the tee leaves a short-to-mid iron approach; favor the fat side of the green and keep the ball below the hole. Local note: Play 3W right, then 9i aimed at right-center — your shapes work in your favor.
Hole 9 at Mount Whitney Golf Club is a 514-yard par 5 that plays as the 7th-handicap hole. At 514 yards, longer hitters can consider reaching in two, but the percentage play is a comfortable layup that leaves a full wedge into the green. This is the longest hole on the course, so discipline off the tee matters most here. Local note: Two smart layups beat a hero shot — 3W right, 6i aimed far right, then wedge.
Who is Mount Whitney Golf Club a good course for?
