The plan for No. 4
At 183 yards, this par 3 may seem straightforward, but the small green and its position as the easiest-rated hole on the course create a deceptive scoring opportunity that demands precision. Success here hinges on committed club selection and staying aggressive to the pin while respecting the green's compact dimensions.
Off the tee
Club selection is paramount on this hole - most players will need anywhere from a 6-iron to a hybrid depending on conditions and pin position. The straight layout eliminates directional concerns, allowing you to focus entirely on distance control and trajectory. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target makes pin-hunting risky for most golfers. Take one extra club and make a smooth, controlled swing rather than forcing a shorter iron. Wind conditions in the Arizona desert can significantly impact club selection, so factor in any crosswinds or helping/hurting breezes.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. The small green demands a high, soft-landing ball flight to maximize your chances of holding the surface. Focus on creating a steep angle of descent with your iron selection. Missing short is typically better than long, as most par 3 greens are designed with more room for recovery in front. Commit fully to your club choice - tentative swings on par 3s often result in coming up short and facing difficult up-and-down situations.
On the green
The small green size means most putts will be relatively short, but also that precision in your approach shot placement becomes even more critical. Without specific knowledge of the green's contours, focus on getting your first putt close rather than being overly aggressive. Two-putt pars are perfectly acceptable on holes rated as the easiest on the course, as they keep you moving forward without dropping shots to the field.
