The tee shot requires accuracy over distance due to its length and water hazard that borders both sides of the fairway near landing zone. During summer months when temperatures are higher and air density lower, you may need to adjust your club selection by one or two clubs as ball flight will be affected by altitude and temperature affecting carry distances. In addition, during windy days typical in Pebble Beach California, play conservatively into crosswinds to ensure you don't find yourself in trouble off the tee box or worse yet in water hazard on either side of fairway.

Once you have successfully navigated through your tee shot onto dry land short iron approach should present opportunity for birdie if played correctly keeping in mind greenside bunkers as a % of total which make up 2% of this large green complex (13266 sq ft). Best strategy here would be to aim slightly right center part of green while taking into account any prevailing winds that could affect ball flight trajectory towards target flag stick location on back left portion of this sloping undulating putting surface. Depending upon pin placement choose an appropriate club between 7-iron (~140 Yards) or pitching wedge (~120 Yards) based on yardage required for optimal angle attack into pin location avoiding those pesky sand traps along way!
