Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 165-yard par-3 plays significantly shorter due to the 30-foot elevation drop from tee to green. Club down 1-2 clubs from your normal 165-yard selection to account for the downhill trajectory and ensure you don't fly the green.

hazard warning

Two prominent bunkers guard the front of the green at 167.1 and 161.9 yards from the tee. While clearing these bunkers is manageable, the real challenge is controlling your ball flight to hold the green once you carry them.

green

The iconic horseshoe-shaped green measures 6,271 square feet (26y x 38y), providing a relatively large target. However, pin position is crucial - aim for the center of the green to give yourself the best chance at holding this elevated putting surface.

With the green measuring 38 yards in length, there can be significant distance differences between front and back pin positions. Study the pin sheet carefully and adjust your club selection accordingly, especially given the downhill nature of the shot.
