The plan for No. 3

This par 5 runs beside an extended stretch of water on the left. The tee shot opens into a generous fairway, but the shoreline remains relevant as you move toward the green. Plan the second shot around a landing area you can reliably reach.

Off the tee

Use the center of the visible fairway as the starting target. Cutting toward the left shoreline saves little when a normal miss would finish in water. Check the amount of fairway remaining at your expected run-out distance, especially with a following wind.

Approach & recovery

For a three-shot route, choose a second-shot distance that leaves you on the fairway with a clear view of the green. Reaching the green in two requires your actual carry, lie and landing conditions to support the attempt. The map cannot supply those personal distances.

On the green

The green occupies the far end of the corridor with a bunker near its approach. A short final approach should still be aimed to the usable center unless the flag position gives a clear reason to adjust. Inspect the contour and the actual surface before selecting a putting line.

Watch for

  • Water borders the left corridor; sand near the green affects the final approach.
