Architecture & history

The 3rd hole at Pine Valley Golf Club is a beautiful par 3 that plays 181 yards from the championship tees and 169 yards from the men's tees. With an average green size of 14156 sq ft, this hole offers plenty of room to land your ball on the putting surface. The green is well guarded with two greenside bunkers, accounting for 13% of all hazards found on this hole. Depending on wind and temperature conditions in each season, you may need to adjust club selection accordingly. For example, during colder months when air density is higher due to lower temperatures, golf balls tend to travel farther and you should take that into account when deciding which club to use off the tee box or for your approach shot. A good rule of thumb would be if it’s cold out, choose one club less than what you normally hit; conversely if it’s warm out, choose one more club than normal. From the championship tees a driver will get you close but depending on weather conditions a 5 iron could also be used as an alternative option off the tee box while a 7 iron or pitching wedge can be used for your approach shot from either set of tees.
