Club Recommendations
Here are some playing tips for Hole 3 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course:
1. Aim towards the right side of the fairway with your tee shot to avoid any trouble on the left.

8. Keep in mind that Hole 3 has no bunkers but still presents challenges such as strong winds and a small green area, so don't let your guard down even though there are no hazards present.
