Hole 3 at Caves Valley Golf Club is a 519 yard Par 5 from the Championship tees. It's a slight dogleg right with 8 bunkers located throughout the hole, two of which are greenside. The fairway width measures 45 yards and the green area is 11300 sq ft in size. This hole can be tricky due to its length and slight dogleg shape, so it's important to choose your tee shot wisely. You'll want to avoid any hazards off the tee while still leaving yourself an approach that won't leave you too far away from the pin for your second shot. Depending on wind conditions, this could call for anything from driver all the way down to an iron off the tee.

For your approach, you'll need to take into account both distance and accuracy as there are plenty of obstacles around the green that could cause trouble if not taken into consideration when club selection is made. A 7 Iron or pitching wedge should provide enough distance control without sacrificing too much accuracy - but always keep an eye on local weather conditions such as altitude, temperature and wind speed which may affect ball flight characteristics during different times of year!
