Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 210-yard par 3 demands precision over power. Club selection is critical - consider wind conditions and pin position when choosing between a smooth long iron or forced mid-iron to reach this challenging distance.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green complex at 180.9, 205.7, and 222.9 yards. The front bunker at 180.9 yards can catch short shots, while the back bunkers at 205.7 and 222.9 yards penalize aggressive pins.

green

The relatively compact green measures just 5,396 square feet (47 yards by 30 yards), making accuracy paramount. Focus on the center of the green unless pin position clearly favors one side - there's limited room for error.

approach

With no fairway landing zone available, this is a pure carry shot to the green. Commit fully to your club selection and swing - there's no bail-out area for a conservative play.

tee shot

As one of Jack Nicklaus's signature design holes at 'Jack's Place,' expect strategic bunkering and green contours that reward precise shot-making. Study the pin sheet carefully and play to the fat part of the green on difficult pin positions.
