Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 216-yard par 3 requires precise club selection and accuracy. With no fairway width at 250 yards, any shot beyond the green area will find trouble. Focus on a controlled swing with a mid-to-long iron that gets you to the pin distance without overpowering the shot.

green

The generous green measuring 33 yards by 30 yards (5,728 square feet) gives you a substantial target to work with. Use this size to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions, especially in windy desert conditions.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 225.5 yards from the tee guard the back portion of the green. Any shot that's slightly long or catches a gust of wind could find these greenside bunkers, so err on the side of being pin-high or slightly short.

approach

With the fairway measuring 60 yards wide at 200 yards but narrowing to zero at 250 yards, there's no bail-out area beyond the green complex. Commit to your yardage and trust your club selection rather than trying to muscle a shorter iron.

tee shot

The landing zone starts immediately from the tee (0 yards), meaning every part of your ball flight matters. Take extra time on the tee to account for elevation changes and desert wind conditions that are common at Cascata.
