Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 210-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection that ensures you carry the bunkers positioned at 176-196 yards while landing softly on the 5,517 square foot green.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard the approach between 176-196 yards - the closest at 176.4 yards and farthest at 196.3 yards create a gauntlet that requires at least a 200-yard carry to clear safely.

approach

With no fairway landing zone available, this is a direct green attack - the generous 39x26 yard green provides a good target, but club up to ensure you clear all hazards and don't come up short.

green

The substantial 5,517 square foot putting surface gives you room for error once you're on the green - aim for the center of the 39-yard wide target to maximize your margin for distance control.

tee shot

Given the complete absence of fairway (0 yards at 250y), this hole requires an all-or-nothing aerial approach - commit fully to your club selection and swing with confidence to clear the hazards.
