Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 163-yard par-3 requires precise club selection and commitment to your target line. With no fairway landing zone available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green or risk finding trouble in the surrounding hazards.

green

The green measures 23 yards by 40 yards (4,296 sq ft), providing a generous target for this mid-iron par-3. Aim for the center of the green to give yourself the best chance at birdie while avoiding short-sided positions around the edges.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 145 yards from the tee guard the front portion of the green. Factor in the 18-yard carry beyond the bunkers to reach the putting surface, and choose a club that will comfortably clear these hazards.

approach

With the green dimensions of 23x40 yards, you have more margin for error on approach shots that favor the longer axis. Study the pin position and aim accordingly to maximize your birdie opportunities on this scenic bayside hole.
