Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this 159-yard par-3. With the green measuring just 29 yards by 30 yards, precision trumps distance - choose a club that allows you to swing smoothly and maintain control rather than forcing a shorter iron.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard this hole at distances of 179, 151.1, and 151.5 yards from the tee. The bunker at 179 yards is likely behind the green, while the two at 151 yards frame the green entrance - avoid being short and right or left of the pin.

green

The compact 5,107 square foot green demands accurate approach shots. With dimensions of only 29 by 30 yards, there's little room for error - aim for the center of the green and let your putting do the work rather than attacking tight pin positions.

approach

As a par-3 with no fairway landing area, this is a one-shot hole that requires commitment to your line. Take extra time to read wind conditions and factor in any elevation changes, as you won't get a second chance to dial in your distance.
