Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 202-yard par-3 demands precision with your club selection. The substantial green size of 4,992 square feet (34 yards wide by 24 yards deep) provides a generous target, but accuracy is still crucial for setting up birdie opportunities.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach at 174, 164, and 154 yards from the tee. These strategically placed hazards create a gauntlet effect, requiring a high, soft landing shot to clear them and hold the green surface.

tee shot

With no fairway landing area available (0 yards), this is a true target golf hole requiring a direct carry to the green. Focus on tempo and balance rather than power to ensure solid contact.

green

The generous green dimensions of 34 yards wide by 24 yards deep allow for some margin of error, but pin position will dictate strategy. Aim for the center of the green when the pin is tucked behind hazards.

approach

Given the 202-yard distance and bunker placement, most golfers will need a mid to long iron. Take one extra club to ensure you clear the fronting bunkers at 154 yards and avoid the short-sided miss.
