Moderate

The third hole at Cherokee Town & Country Club (South) presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 362 yards, this straight-away hole invites an aggressive tee shot down a generous fairway corridor, but the real challenge lies in the approach to a small, demanding green complex. With minimal hazards protecting the hole, success depends entirely on course management and shot execution.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into such a narrow target.

approach

From a well-positioned tee shot, you'll have a mid-iron approach into a generous green measuring 4,401 square feet. The green's 31-yard length gives you room to be aggressive, but club selection is critical to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 122.7 yards from the tee. These hazards shouldn't affect your tee shot strategy, but they could come into play for recovery shots or if you're playing from forward tees.
