Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 327-yard par 3 requires a long iron or hybrid off the tee. The generous fairway width of 12 yards at both 200 and 250 yards gives you room to work, but accuracy is still paramount on this lengthy one-shotter.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker complex positioned at 222 yards from the tee. This hazard sits right in the landing zone for most golfers' tee shots, so club selection and line are critical to avoid trouble.

approach

With the fairway maintaining 12 yards of width at the 250-yard mark, longer hitters have the option to play aggressively past the bunkers, but must execute precisely to find the relatively compact green.

green

The green measures just 17 yards wide by 36 yards deep (3464 sq ft total), making it a challenging target for such a long par 3. Focus on the center of the green and let your natural shot shape work toward pin positions.

tee shot

Consider laying up short of the 222-yard bunker with a mid-iron, leaving yourself a manageable wedge shot to the narrow 17-yard wide green rather than risking the hazard with an aggressive play.
