Club Recommendations
Weather: In the summer, temperatures can reach high 80s with moderate humidity and occasional strong winds. In the fall, expect cooler temperatures in the 50s to low 60s with potential for rain and wind. Winter brings cold temperatures in the 20s to low 30s with occasional snowfall and gusty winds. Spring sees milder temperatures in the 60s to low 70s with potential for thunderstorms.
For a high handicapper, it is important to focus on accuracy rather than distance off the tee on this par 3 hole. With a shorter drive of around 200 yards, players should aim towards the center or left side of this relatively small green area to avoid fairway bunkers located on the right side. From there, a short iron shot onto this flat green will give them an opportunity for a one-putt par.
Mid handicappers have more room for error but should still prioritize accuracy over power on this hole. With drives averaging around 230 yards, they can aim closer towards the right side of the green while avoiding water hazards and any deep rough that may be present during certain seasons. A well-placed approach shot onto this medium-sized green will leave them with a good chance at birdie or par.
Low handicappers have an advantage on this hole as their longer drives (280+ yards) allow them to potentially reach this small green in one shot if conditions are favorable. However, they must be mindful of two bunkers guarding both sides of the green as well as any wind conditions that may impact ball flight at higher altitudes during certain seasons. An accurate tee shot followed by a precise approach will set up an excellent opportunity for birdie or even eagle.
