PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' Hole by Hole - 3rd Hole

Hole 3 at PGA National Resort and Spa 'Champion Course' is a challenging par 5, with a distance of 538 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 3, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

The tee shot on this hole is crucial, as there are several hazards to contend with. The fairway is relatively wide at about 40 yards, but there are four bunkers strategically placed along the right side. These bunkers should be avoided if possible, as they can make for a difficult approach shot.

As you make your way down the fairway, you'll notice that this hole has a slight dogleg to the right. This means that players will need to aim slightly left off the tee in order to have an optimal angle for their second shot.

Once you reach your second shot, you'll want to carefully consider your club selection based on your average distances. With water running along most of the left side of this hole and greenside bunkers making up only 2% of total bunker coverage on this green (which equates to approximately one bunker), accuracy is key when approaching this green.

The green itself measures at around 8,690 square feet and offers some undulation which can make putting tricky if not careful. Additionally, depending on weather conditions such as high winds or changes in altitude due to elevation differences throughout each season may impact ball flight so keep these factors in mind when selecting clubs for both shots leading up towards Hole #3's Green area no matter where it appears within its respective seasons played year round here! Overall though given its length and strategic placement amongst other potential obstacles present across different parts/areas during playtime - especially since it's located near Palm Beach Gardens Florida - competing pros would do well by paying close attention while playing through Hole #3 regardless whether they're standing out upon any specific Teebox type.
