Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par-3 plays at just 150 yards, making it a prime scoring opportunity. Club selection is critical - with the compact 24x24 yard green measuring only 2352 square feet, precision trumps power. Most players will be hitting anything from a 9-iron to a 6-iron depending on conditions.

green

The green is remarkably small at just 2352 square feet (24 yards by 24 yards), demanding pinpoint accuracy. This is one of the tightest targets you'll face, so focus on the center of the green rather than attacking pins. Missing this small target will likely result in a difficult up-and-down.

hazard warning

Two prominent bunkers guard the green at 133.9 and 131.5 yards from the tee, positioned strategically short of the putting surface. These sand traps are perfectly placed to catch slightly mishit shots, so ensure you take enough club to carry them comfortably.

approach

With no fairway landing area (0 yards from tee), this is a direct shot to the green. The iconic Statue of Liberty backdrop can be distracting, but stay focused on your target. Take one extra club to ensure you don't come up short in the bunkers at 131.5 yards.

green

Given the extremely compact 24-yard square green, putting will be at a premium. The small surface means less room for error on approach shots, but also shorter putts if you find the green. Focus on lag putting to avoid three-putts on this tight target.
