The plan for No. 3
The Concession Golf Club hole 3 presents a formidable 577-yard par 5 that pays homage to one of golf's most iconic challenges. This straight-away test features a deep-stacked sod bunker and green complex designed to mirror St. Andrews' legendary Road Hole, bringing Scottish links tradition to the Florida landscape. The hole's deceptive simplicity masks its true challenge - navigating to a small, unforgiving green that demands precision on the approach shot. With the lowest handicap rating on the course, this par 5 separates contenders from pretenders through strategic shot placement and course management. The Road Hole-inspired green complex creates difficult pin positions and tricky recovery shots, making birdie opportunities as elusive as they are rewarding on this tribute to golf's most famous finishing hole.
Off the tee
Your opening shot should focus on finding the optimal position for your second shot rather than pure distance. Target the center-right portion of the fairway to set up the best angle for your layup. Driver is typically the right choice here given the hole's length, but accuracy trumps distance. The straight layout rewards controlled aggression - avoid the temptation to blast it as far as possible and instead focus on a smooth, controlled swing that finds the short grass.
Approach & recovery
The second shot becomes critical in your scoring strategy. Most players will be laying up to their preferred wedge distance, ideally leaving themselves in the 100-120 yard range. Position your layup to approach the green from the left side of the fairway, which provides the best angle to avoid the menacing sod bunker. This positioning also gives you more green to work with on your third shot. Resist the urge to get too aggressive with distance here - course management is key.
On the green
The small green demands precision and rewards conservative putting strategy. Expect significant undulation and challenging reads, particularly if the pin is tucked near the famous sod bunker. Focus on lag putting to ensure you're always putting uphill for your second putt when possible. The green's compact size means even slight misreads can leave you with lengthy comeback putts, so take extra time to read the slopes carefully.
