Strategy Tips

tee shot

At just 157 yards, this is a short iron par 3 that demands precision over power. With the compact 2897 square foot green measuring only 26 yards wide by 25 yards deep, club selection and accuracy are paramount.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green complex at distances of 144.3, 132.3, and 143.6 yards from the tee. These greenside bunkers create a narrow corridor to the putting surface, making pin position crucial for target selection.

green

The small green dimensions of 26 yards by 25 yards leave little margin for error. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as short-sided positions around this compact target will lead to difficult up-and-downs.

approach

With bunkers positioned around the 132-144 yard range, take one extra club and make a smooth swing to ensure you clear the sand and find the putting surface. The elevated nature typical of Sharon Heights holes may require additional carry.

tee shot

The 2897 square foot green provides a relatively small target that rewards conservative play. Given Sharon Heights' reputation for well-groomed but challenging conditions, prioritize finding the green over aggressive pin-hunting on this short but demanding par 3.
