Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 208-yard par 3 demands precision with your club selection - there's no bailout area as the fairway completely disappears beyond 250 yards, making distance control absolutely critical.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 172 and 176 yards from the tee - these create a narrow window that requires careful aim and committed swing to clear.

approach

With the fairway pinching down to just 4 yards wide at 200 yards, there's virtually no room for error - commit to flying your shot directly to the green rather than trying to work it along the ground.

green

The generous 8,851 square foot green (54x39 yards) provides multiple pin positions and recovery options - aim for the center and let the large putting surface work in your favor.

tee shot

As Streamsong's signature hole and described as 'the climax' of the Red Course, embrace the aerial challenge - there's no landing zone short of the green, so commit fully to carrying your ball the full distance.
