Shop Hybrids →Strategy Tips
This 237-yard par 3 demands precision with your tee shot selection. With no fairway landing area and bunkers positioned at 213 and 227 yards, you'll need to carry your shot directly to the green or risk finding sand.
Avoid the bunker complex at 213-227 yards that guards the front and sides of the green. These hazards are strategically placed to catch anything short of a full carry to the putting surface.
Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 33 yards by 30 yards (5,426 sq ft). With the prevailing wind often against you, club up and aim for the middle to avoid the slopes mentioned in course reviews.
With no fairway width at any distance, this is a true target golf hole requiring a direct carry. Miss left and you'll face the 'devilish shot off a harsh slope' that course reviews warn about.
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.
