The plan for No. 3

The play: A par 5 and stroke index 11. The mapped corridor carries five hazards: a bunker left and four bunkers right. The green measures 17 yards front to back, a shallow target.

Shot by shot

  1. Off the tee

    The drive is measured along the reviewed playing line. One mapped landing area on the fairway is clear of every mapped hazard. Five hazards lie short of the green.

  2. Approach & recovery

    No mapped hazard guards the front of the green. A layup is required; the hole cannot be reached in two from the mapped route.

  3. On the green

    The surface runs 17 yards from front to back. Read the published contour panel for slope; this release records no hole location.

  4. Watch for

    • Right bunker 1 — bunker, right side
    • Right bunker 2 — bunker, right side
    • Right bunker 3 — bunker, right side
    • Right bunker 4 — bunker, right side
    • Left bunker 5 — bunker, left side
