Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 250-yard par 3 demands precision with club selection. The generous 3,897 square foot green (33 yards deep by 20 yards wide) allows for aggressive pin-hunting, but the narrow landing area requires careful consideration of wind conditions and pin position.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunker positioned at 243.5 yards - just short of this lengthy par 3. With only 6.5 yards between the bunker and the back of the green, any shot that clears the sand must be perfectly controlled to avoid going long.

green

The figure-eight shaped green creates distinct pin positions that dramatically affect strategy. With the green measuring 33 yards deep, there's nearly a 3-club difference between front and back pins - be precise with your yardage and account for the Manhattan skyline views that can be distracting.

approach

Given the narrow 12-yard fairway width at 250 yards and runoffs surrounding the green, missing the putting surface leaves extremely difficult recovery shots. The generous 3,897 square foot green rewards accurate iron play over aggressive distance.

green

The close bunker at 63 yards from the tee creates an optical illusion that can affect depth perception on this iconic hole. Focus on the flag and trust your yardage to the 20-yard wide green rather than being influenced by the foreground hazards.
