Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 418-yard par-3 demands precision off the tee with no fairway landing zone available - you must carry your tee shot directly to the green or risk finding the hazards that define Dubsdread's challenging character.

approach

Target the center of this substantial 4,415 square foot green (29x32 yards) rather than pin-hunting, as the elevated, multi-tiered surface provides ample room for two-putts while avoiding the penal bunkers.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard the green at 434.6, 394.6, and 410.4 yards from the tee - club selection is critical as being short or long by just a few yards will find sand on this all-carry hole.

green

With the green measuring 32 yards deep, take one extra club to ensure you clear the front bunkers at 394.6 yards, as Cog Hill's thick rough and elevated greens make recovery shots extremely difficult.

tee shot

At 418 yards, this is one of golf's longest par-3s requiring driver or 3-wood for most players - focus on solid contact and commitment to your swing, as tentative swings will find the hazards short of the green.
