The plan for No. 3
Use the length of this par 5 to build position. The final approach is easier to judge from the fairway than from the sand-lined edges.
Off the tee
Keep the first shot within the long central corridor. Bunkers appear on both sides farther up the hole, so use the rings to relate their positions to your own distance.
Approach & recovery
The green sits between several bunkers, with sand tight to the right side and short-left. Favor the center and leave the ambitious flag line for a clean lie.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- Bunkers flank the upper fairway and both sides of the green complex.
