Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 157-yard par 3 demands precision over distance - focus on club selection that ensures you carry the bunker at 125 yards while staying below the pin for an uphill putt on this elevated green setting.

hazard warning

Avoid the greenside bunker positioned at 165 yards - with the hole playing only 157 yards total, this trap sits dangerously close to pin-high and will catch shots that are slightly long or right of target.

approach

The front bunker at 125 yards creates a strategic challenge - you need to carry this hazard while controlling distance on a green that measures just 29 yards deep, leaving little margin for error on approach shots.

green

Target the center of this compact 3,941 square foot green (29x22 yards) - with the famous Cascata waterfall as backdrop, the relatively small target demands accuracy over aggressive pin-hunting on this signature hole.

tee shot

With no fairway landing area available, this is a true one-shot hole where club selection is critical - take one more club than the yardage suggests to ensure you clear the front bunker and reach the putting surface safely.
