Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 147-yard par 3 requires precise club selection and accuracy. With no fairway to bail out on, your tee shot must find the green or risk landing in the surrounding hazards.

green

Target the center of this generous 5,976 square foot green (47 yards long by 29 yards wide) to give yourself the best chance for par. The green's size provides multiple pin positions, so club up if the pin is back.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard this hole at 117, 134, and 153 yards from the tee. The middle bunker at 134 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits right in the landing zone for most approach shots.

approach

With bunkers flanking the green at varying distances, favor the side opposite the pin position. The bunker at 153 yards likely protects the back portion of the green, so take less club if the pin is front.

tee shot

As a true target golf hole with no landing zone available, commit fully to your club selection and swing. The 29-yard width of the green gives you some margin for error left and right.
