This 240-yard par 3 demands precision off the tee - there's no fairway landing zone, so you must carry your shot all the way to the target area or green.
Club selection is critical on this long par 3 - most golfers will need a hybrid, fairway wood, or long iron to cover the full 240 yards to the pin.
If you're playing short of the green, be aware that the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, so there's no bailout area beyond the putting surface.
The large green measuring 31 by 34 yards gives you a generous target - aim for the center to avoid trouble and give yourself the best chance for par.
With only 12 yards of fairway width at the 200-yard mark, laying up short requires extreme accuracy - most players should go for the green rather than risk the narrow landing area.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
