Sand Hills Golf Club Hole by Hole - 3rd Hole

Hole 3 at Sand Hills Golf Club is a 216-yard par 3 with a championship tee handicap of 2. The green area is 17534 sq ft and there are two bunkers, none of which are greenside. This hole plays slightly uphill and the altitude combined with Nebraska's temperate climate can cause some variability in ball flight conditions due to wind throughout the year. In summer months, when temperatures can reach well into the 90s, golfers should expect their shots to travel further than normal.

For an average golfer hitting around 217 yards off the tee, this hole will require a long iron or hybrid club for most players in order to clear the bunker that protects the left side of the green from 215 yards out as well as find yourself on putting surface. On your approach shot, you'll want to aim towards middle right portion of fairway if possible since any shot landing short or left may be blocked by trees from reaching green safely. With 140-120 yard shots typically requiring 7 irons/wedges respectively for most players; accuracy here becomes paramount as missing either side could result in bogey or worse depending on severity of miss and whether it lands in hazard or not.
