Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 176-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection and accuracy to find the green measuring 30 yards by 32 yards, which provides a reasonable target size but requires commitment to your yardage.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard this hole at 155.6, 144.4, and 196.9 yards - the front bunkers at 144-156 yards will catch short shots, while the back bunker at 197 yards punishes over-aggressive club selection.

approach

With a green size of 4,484 square feet, you have a decent target to work with, but accuracy is still paramount - aim for the center of the green and let your short game handle any pin position adjustments.

tee shot

Since there's no fairway to bail out to (0 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards), this is a true target golf hole - commit fully to carrying your ball directly to the green or face desert/hazard consequences.

green

The green dimensions of 30 by 32 yards offer multiple pin positions - study the pin placement carefully and favor the side that gives you the best angle away from the surrounding bunkers and desert hazards.
