Strategy Tips
This 190-yard par 3 demands precise club selection and accuracy. With no fairway width recorded, you're hitting directly to the green, making distance control crucial for success on this Donald Ross design.
Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 27 yards by 24 yards (4,027 sq ft). The compact dimensions leave little room for error, so prioritize accuracy over aggressive pin-hunting.
Beware of the strategic bunker placement at 183.3 yards - positioned short of the green to catch under-clubbed shots. This front bunker is a classic Donald Ross feature designed to penalize conservative play.
Two additional bunkers lurk beyond the green at 211.2 and 217.6 yards, punishing over-aggressive shots. These rear hazards create a narrow margin for error on this Bay Course challenge.
With bunkers positioned both short (183.3y) and long (211.2y, 217.6y) of this 190-yard hole, there's only a 7-yard safe landing zone on the green. Take one extra club and swing smoothly for optimal distance control.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your mid-iron. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
