Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 176-yard par 3 demands precise club selection and accuracy. With no fairway landing zone available, your tee shot must carry all the way to the green or risk finding trouble in the surrounding areas.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green at 181, 165, and 158 yards from the tee. The bunker at 181 yards is particularly dangerous as it's positioned right at the green's edge, making recovery shots challenging.

green

The generous green measures 6,533 square feet (37 yards by 30 yards), providing a substantial target. Aim for the center of this large putting surface to give yourself the best chance for birdie while avoiding the surrounding hazards.

approach

Take one extra club and swing smoothly on this Donald Ross design. The bunkers clustered between 158-181 yards create a dangerous zone that requires confident execution to clear and reach the putting surface safely.

green

With the green's 30-yard width, pin position becomes crucial for scoring. When the flag is tucked near the bunkers, play to the fat part of the green and rely on the generous 37-yard length to leave yourself a makeable putt.
