How many yards are the par 3s at Thornblade?
Except for the 190+-yard 17th, the par 3s at Thornblade are on the short side -– one was just 119 yards -- although they are either well bunkered or elevated hit-or-miss affairs (or both). The par 5s offered the best opportunities, as they typically do, to pick up a stroke or two. The major impediments to a good score at Thornblade from the “Enclave” tees I played were the par 4s. On a golf course under 6,300 yards, you don’t expect to play two-shotters of 415 yards (the 13 th) and 442 yards (the 18 th ), easily one of the toughest finishing holes in the state. These were beastly challenges, although the 13 th, as befits a long hole, did not offer much in the way of hazards, its fairway bunkers well beyond tee-shot distance yet well inside the approach shot distances. The only in-play bunker was the one that protected the back right of a green that sloped front right to rear left.
What is the 8th hole of Thornblade?
The par 4 8th hole is indicative of the importance of tee shot placement at Thornblade. A drive to the right side of the fairway presents a much better approach than short and left.
