Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 220-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection that ensures you can reach the putting surface without overswinging, as there's no fairway landing area to bail out to.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 193 and 203 yards - these sit right in the prime landing zone for most golfers, so factor in wind conditions and pin position when selecting your club.

green

The generous green measuring 28 yards by 35 yards gives you a large target, but with multiple tiers mentioned in course reviews, focus on getting your ball below the hole for easier putting.

approach

With no landing zone available from the tee, this is a true one-shot hole - commit fully to your club selection and swing with confidence, as there's no room for a conservative lay-up strategy.

tee shot

Given Edgewood's tendency for holes to play left-to-right and this being one of the signature finishing holes, factor in any prevailing wind off Lake Tahoe that could push your ball toward trouble.
