Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 193-yard par 3 demands precision over power - select a club that comfortably covers the distance without forcing a swing that could compromise accuracy.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 198.8 yards create a significant threat just past the pin - avoid going long as recovery shots from these traps to the narrow 18-yard wide green will be extremely challenging.

green

The green measures only 18 yards wide despite being 43 yards deep - focus on distance control rather than left-right precision, as the narrow width leaves little margin for lateral error.

approach

With no fairway available (0 yards wide at standard distances), this is a direct carry to the green - ensure your club selection accounts for wind conditions and pin position on the 4,611 square foot putting surface.

green

The substantial 43-yard depth of the green means pin position dramatically affects club selection - a front pin versus back pin could require a full club difference on this 193-yard hole.
