Par 3 • 203 Yards • Hamburg, New Jersey

Enhanced Content

Brutal

Ballyowen Golf Club hole 6 presents a classic mid-length par 3 that demands precision over power from the elevated tee. At 203 yards, this straightforward test requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection while navigating the approach to a small, well-protected green complex. The absence of major hazards might seem forgiving, but the compact target and elevated position create their own challenges, particularly when pin positions test the edges. Wind conditions can significantly influence club choice on this exposed hole, making course management crucial. The relatively high handicap ranking of 15 shouldn't fool players – this deceptively simple one-shotter rewards accuracy and punishes indecision, embodying Ballyowen's philosophy of strategic golf through thoughtful design rather than overwhelming difficulty.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This demanding 203-yard par-3 requires precise club selection and commitment to your target line. With no fairway landing area available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green or risk finding trouble.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 192.5 yards create a significant hazard just short of the green. Factor in pin position and wind conditions when selecting your club to ensure you clear these greenside traps.

green

The generous green measures 6,621 square feet (41 yards by 32 yards), giving you a large target to aim for. Use this to your advantage by playing to the center of the green when pin positions are tucked behind hazards.

approach

With the fairway measuring only 24 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, there's minimal room for error if you come up short. Commit to a club that will comfortably reach the putting surface.
