Quail Hollow Club plays from the I tees at 7,546 yards. A useful rule of thumb: if that total yardage is more than 25 times your average driver carry, expect long approach clubs all day and plan your round around bogey golf rather than forcing pars.
Hole 3 at Quail Hollow Club is a 448-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 3 costs you less than a double made chasing a hero shot. At 448 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: The creek pinches in short and left of the green — a back-left pin is a sucker line, so play to the right-center shelf and putt across.
Hole 4 at Quail Hollow Club is a 183-yard par 3 that plays as the 11th-handicap hole. At 183 yards, club selection matters more than power: pick the club that covers the front of the green and swing within yourself. Local note: A firm false front sends anything landing short of pin-high trickling back off the green; take the club that carries the full number.
Hole 9 at Quail Hollow Club is a 531-yard par 4 that plays as the 3rd-handicap hole. At 531 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: The approach plays about a half club uphill and the back tier rejects shots without spin — middle of the green is the play all day.
Hole 10 at Quail Hollow Club is a 590-yard par 5 that plays as the 14th-handicap hole. At 590 yards, this is a true three-shot hole for most players. Lay up to a full-wedge distance rather than forcing a long second toward trouble. This is the longest hole on the course, so discipline off the tee matters most here. Local note: The downhill tee shot runs out here; hug the left tree line and the slope kicks it to the middle, then lay up short of the right-side bunkers.
Quail Hollow Club is a par-72, 18-hole layout measuring 7,546 yards from the longest listed tees, with 4 par 3s and 4 par 5s. Averaging about 419 yards per hole, it favors longer hitters — players who struggle to reach par 4s in two should tee it forward and lean on wedge play and putting. With 4 par 5s, there are real scoring chances for players who lay up to a full wedge distance instead of chasing greens in two.
