Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 204-yard par-3 demands precision with your tee shot selection. The compact green measuring just 23 by 29 yards requires accurate distance control - consider taking one extra club and swinging smoothly rather than forcing a shot.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 188 yards create a significant challenge just short of this green. With only 16 yards between the bunker complex and the putting surface, missing short could leave you with a difficult sand save on the small target.

green

The green's modest 4,097 square feet makes it one of the smaller targets you'll face. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins - the 23-yard width leaves little margin for error on approach shots.

approach

With no fairway landing area available on this par-3, club selection becomes critical. The all-carry nature of this hole means you must commit fully to your yardage - there's no opportunity to run the ball up to the putting surface.

tee shot

Given the Donald Ross design philosophy and this hole's Scottish character, expect subtle green contours that will punish misplaced approach shots. Aim for the fat part of the green and let your putting handle the scoring.
