Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 175-yard par 3 requires precise club selection and accuracy over distance. Focus on hitting the center of the 3,552 square foot green rather than attacking pins, as the green provides ample landing area at 22 yards wide by 31 yards deep.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 164.8 yards from the tee guard the approach to this green. Since this is shorter than the hole's total length, these bunkers likely protect the front or sides of the green, requiring a carry of at least 165 yards to clear them safely.

green

The generous green size of 3,552 square feet (22x31 yards) allows for aggressive pin hunting on this par 3. Use the extra room to your advantage by aiming for the fat part of the green when pin positions are tucked behind hazards.

approach

With no fairway landing zones available (0 yards at both 200y and 250y), this hole demands an all-carry tee shot directly to the green. There's no option to play short and pitch up, making club selection and execution critical for success.

tee shot

Given the historical context of this course being built on dredged material from San Diego Bay, expect firm conditions that may affect ball flight and bounce. The 175-yard distance combined with potential coastal winds requires careful consideration of environmental factors in club selection.
