Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this 158-yard par 3 - take one extra club to ensure you clear the bunkers positioned at 140.9 and 149.2 yards, which guard the front of the green.

Avoid the bunker complex that extends from 140.9 yards to 149.2 yards in front of the green - these traps will catch any shot that comes up short of the putting surface.

green

Target the center of this generous 5,747 square foot green (34 yards deep by 30 yards wide) rather than attacking pins - the large putting surface gives you room for error.

approach

With the green measuring 34 yards deep, pin position matters significantly - adjust your club selection by at least one club between front and back pin positions.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 183.9 yards - while unlikely to come into play for most golfers on this 158-yard hole, longer hitters should avoid going long with aggressive pin hunting.
