Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 212-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection that ensures you carry the bunkers positioned at 207.5 and 191.7 yards while still reaching the putting surface.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 207.5 and 191.7 yards - the front bunker at 191.7y can catch shots that come up short, while the back bunker at 207.5y penalizes slightly long approaches.

green

The compact 4,142 square foot green measuring 32 yards by 22 yards requires accurate distance control - with such a relatively small target, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins.

tee shot

With the green's 22-yard depth, pin position becomes critical - when the pin is front, focus on carrying the 191.7-yard bunker; when back, ensure you have enough club to clear the 207.5-yard bunker.
