Shop Hybrids →Strategy Tips
This 216-yard par 3 demands precision with no fairway bailout options - commit to carrying the ball all the way to the green with a mid to long iron depending on conditions.
Three strategic bunkers guard the approach zone between 187-202 yards, requiring precise distance control to avoid short-sided positions around the green complex.
The compact 4,101 square foot green (22x30 yards) rewards accurate approach shots - focus on the center of the green rather than attacking pins given the premium on finding the putting surface.
With no landing zone available short of the green, club selection is critical - take one extra club to ensure you clear all hazards and reach the putting surface safely.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
