Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 175-yard par 3 demands precision over power. With no fairway landing zone available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green or surrounding areas. Club selection is critical - choose a club that comfortably covers the distance without overpowering.

green

The green measures 18 yards wide by 34 yards deep, providing a relatively narrow target that requires accurate distance control. Aim for the center of the green to maximize your margin for error, especially given the compact 3,770 square foot putting surface.

approach

With the green being significantly longer (34 yards) than it is wide (18 yards), pin position becomes crucial. A front pin requires a more aggressive carry, while a back pin allows for a safer shot that can release toward the hole.

hazard warning

Despite the course's reputation for being player-friendly with many lakes, this hole shows no identified bunkers in the immediate target area. However, missing the narrow 18-yard-wide green could still result in challenging recovery shots from the surrounding terrain.

tee shot

Consider the wind and pin position when selecting your club for this 175-yard shot. The absence of a traditional fairway landing zone means there's no bailout area - commit fully to your yardage and swing with confidence to find the putting surface.
