tee shot

At just 129 yards, this short par-3 demands precision over power. Focus on club selection that gives you full control - likely a wedge or 9-iron for most players - rather than trying to muscle a shorter club.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard this green at 112.6, 128.7, and 134.0 yards from the tee. The middle bunker at 128.7 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits right at the pin distance, demanding precise distance control.

green

The compact green measures just 24 yards by 20 yards (2,909 square feet), making it a small target that rewards accuracy. Aim for the center of the green and let your short game handle any pin positions.
