Brutal

At 206 yards, this straight shot requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection, with no room for tentative swings. The small green becomes the focal point of strategy, demanding pinpoint accuracy from the tee box.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 206-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 trouble.

approach

Club selection is critical on this lengthy par 3. Most golfers will need a long iron or hybrid to cover the full 206 yards, so take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shorter iron.

green

The compact 2,665 square foot green (22y x 25y) offers a relatively small target for such a long approach shot. Aim for the center of the green and accept a two-putt par rather than attacking tight pin positions.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 170 yards from the tee. While most players will carry these easily on this long par 3, a mishit or conservative club selection could find the sand short of the green.

tee shot

With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at 200 yards and disappearing entirely at 250 yards, there's no room for error or conservative play - commit fully to reaching the green in one shot.
