Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 164 yards, this par 3 demands precision over power. With the ever-changing winds at Seaside, club selection becomes critical - you might need anything from a comfortable 7-iron on calm days to a gripped-down 5-iron when the wind is against you.

green

The green measures 32 by 34 yards, providing a generous target at 5,519 square feet. This size gives you room for error, but proper distance control is essential as the wind can dramatically affect ball flight and landing conditions.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 164.6 yards - essentially pin-high - create a significant strategic challenge. These greenside bunkers will catch shots that come up short or drift offline, making accurate yardage calculation crucial in the coastal winds.

approach

With no fairway landing area available, this is a direct carry to the green. The 164-yard distance requires committed execution - there's no option to play conservatively short and pitch on, making wind reading absolutely critical for success.

tee shot

The rectangular green dimensions (32y x 34y) suggest targeting the center is your best strategy. In true links fashion, let the wind help guide your ball to the pin rather than fighting it - aim for the fat part of the green and let conditions work in your favor.
