Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 215-yard par 3 demands precision club selection and commitment to your line. With no fairway landing zone available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green, making accurate distance control critical for success.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 199.6, 181.1, and 167.4 yards from the tee. The closest bunker at 199.6 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits just short of this 215-yard hole, catching shots that come up slightly short.

green

The relatively compact green measures 5,753 square feet (33 yards by 31 yards), requiring precise approach shots. As part of the infamous 'Snake Pit' finishing holes, this green rewards accuracy over aggression - focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins.

approach

Modern PGA Tour players treat this as a strategic positioning hole rather than a pure power test. Take one extra club to ensure you clear the bunker complex and reach the putting surface, as coming up short into the hazards is the biggest mistake you can make.

tee shot

With zero fairway width available, this hole offers no bailout areas - it's green or hazard. Club up conservatively and aim for the center of the 33-yard wide green to give yourself the best chance of avoiding the penalty areas that define this challenging Snake Pit hole.
