Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 197-yard par-3 demands precision over power. With no fairway landing zone available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green or risk finding trouble in the surrounding hazards.

green

Target the center of this generous 6,644 square foot green (35y x 34y) rather than pin-hunting. The large putting surface gives you room for error and better recovery options if you miss your approach slightly.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 211.5 yards from the tee - these are likely behind or around the green. Take enough club to clear front hazards but don't over-club into the back traps.

approach

Club selection is critical on this 197-yard hole. Factor in wind conditions and pin position, but remember that the generous green dimensions (35y x 34y) reward conservative play to the center over aggressive pin-seeking.
