Challenging

Cherokee Town & Country Club (North) hole 3 presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that demands both precision and course management. At 414 yards, this straight-away layout appears straightforward from the tee, but the small green complex creates the primary test for approaching golfers. The generous fairway invites an aggressive tee shot, yet the real challenge emerges on the approach, where the compact putting surface requires pinpoint accuracy with mid-to-short irons. Without significant hazards to complicate play, success hinges purely on execution and club selection. The elevated green's subtle contours can turn seemingly perfect approach shots into difficult two-putts, making this hole a true test of precision over power.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards at 250 yards to just 12 yards at 200 yards, making accuracy more critical than distance off the tee. Consider laying up with a mid-iron to the wider 250-yard zone rather than risking the narrow corridor closer to the green.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 160.9 yards from the tee create a significant hazard zone that affects both conservative and aggressive tee shot strategies. Factor this distance into your club selection to either carry them completely or lay up short.

approach

With 414 total yards on this par 4, most golfers will face a mid to long iron approach shot. The green measures 36 yards deep by 24 yards wide (4,885 sq ft), providing a reasonable target size that rewards accurate iron play.

green

The green's 36-yard depth offers multiple pin positions and requires careful attention to yardage. With the green being 1.5 times deeper than it is wide, club selection becomes crucial for distance control to avoid long putts.

tee shot

Playing to the 250-yard mark maximizes your advantage by utilizing the fairway's widest point at 24 yards while setting up an approach shot of approximately 164 yards to the center of the green.
