Aviara Golf Club at Four Seasons Resort Hole by Hole - 3rd Hole

Hole 3 at Aviara Golf Club is a par 3 that measures 149 yards from the championship tees and has a handicap rating of 17. This hole can be challenging due to its length and the presence of water, making accuracy off the tee crucial for success.

The green on this hole is large, measuring at 10563 square feet, but it is well-protected by two bunkers which account for only 2% of the total greenside area. However, these bunkers are strategically placed near the front of the green and can come into play if you miss your approach shot.

When approaching this hole, take note of any wind conditions as they can greatly impact ball flight on such a long par 3. In addition, keep in mind that Carlsbad's mild climate means relatively consistent weather throughout all four seasons with average temperatures ranging from mid-60s to low-70s. The course's location also offers stunning views overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon and Pacific Ocean.

For most golfers hitting an average distance off their driver (~217 yards), using a mid-to-long iron or hybrid may be best suited for their tee shot to ensure proper club selection when factoring in potential wind conditions. From there, aiming towards the center or slightly right side of the green will provide more room for error while avoiding any hazards around it.

With an average distance hit with a pitching wedge being ~120 yards according to our chart data provided earlier (and assuming no major elevation changes), consider using one less club than normal when approaching this hole so as not to overshoot your target onto potentially unfavorable terrain behind or beyond it.

Overall, Hole 3 at Aviara Golf Club requires accuracy and strategy both off the tee and on approach in order to successfully navigate its challenges and achieve optimal scoring results regardless of season or weather conditions.
