This 204-yard par 3 demands precise club selection and commitment to your line. With no fairway width at 250 yards, there's no room for error if you over-club.
Target the center of the generous 4,178 square foot green (30x25 yards) rather than chasing pin positions. The large putting surface gives you margin for error on distance control.
With only 24 yards of fairway width at the 200-yard mark, accuracy is more critical than distance. Consider taking one less club and ensuring solid contact.
The 25-yard depth of the green provides good margin for distance control errors. Focus on getting your ball anywhere on the putting surface rather than being overly aggressive with pin hunting.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
