Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 192-yard par-3 demands precision over power. With no fairway width beyond the tee, you must carry your shot all the way to the green, making club selection critical for the full carry distance.

hazard warning

Beware the restored deep bunker at 177 yards - historically the deepest on the course. This punishing pit sits directly in your landing zone and will severely penalize any shot that comes up short of the green.

green

The generous 5,399 square foot green (35x28 yards) offers a large target, but pin position will dictate your strategy. Aim for the center of this sizable putting surface to avoid the surrounding hazards.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 170, 177, and 189 yards, there's virtually no safe bailout area short of the green. Commit to a confident swing with enough club to clear all hazards and reach the putting surface.

tee shot

Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot. The combination of no landing zone options and multiple bunkers protecting the green makes distance control more important than aggressive pin-hunting.

train this shot at home
