This 216-yard par 3 demands precise club selection and commitment to your target. With Pete Dye's signature design philosophy in mind, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than chasing pin positions.
The green measures 20 yards wide by 38 yards deep (4,209 sq ft), providing a reasonable target size for the distance. Aim for the center-left portion of the green to avoid the more severe pin positions that Dye designs are known for.
Three strategic bunkers guard this hole at distances of 196, 211, and 229 yards from the tee. The bunker at 211 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits right in the landing zone for most approach shots.
With no fairway landing area (0 yards from tee), this is a true one-shot hole where your tee shot must find the green. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot that could find the hazards.
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.
