Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 160-yard par-3 demands precision over power. Club selection is critical - choose a club that gets you to the back of the green comfortably, as the compact 4,863 square foot green (30y x 34y) leaves little room for error.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the green at 163.3 and 154.8 yards from the tee. These sand traps are positioned to catch both short and slightly long shots, making accurate distance control essential.

green

The relatively small green measuring 30 yards by 34 yards (4,863 sq ft) requires pinpoint accuracy. Study the pin position carefully and aim for the center of the green when in doubt, as missing this compact target will likely result in a difficult up-and-down.

approach

With no fairway to bail out to, this is an all-or-nothing shot to the green. Take one extra club and make a smooth, controlled swing rather than forcing a shot that could find the bunkers or miss the green entirely.
