Strategy Tips
This 172-yard par-3 requires precise club selection and commitment to your line. With no fairway width measurements recorded, accuracy to the green is paramount - there's no bailout area.
Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 34 yards by 25 yards. The 4,687 square foot putting surface provides reasonable margin for error if you avoid the edges.
Two strategic bunkers guard this hole at 169.5 and 142.6 yards from the tee. The closer bunker at 169.5 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits just short of the pin position.
With bunkers positioned at 142.6 and 169.5 yards, carry the front bunker by at least 2-3 yards to ensure you clear the hazard and reach the putting surface safely.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your mid-iron. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
