Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this short par 3 - at only 145 yards, resist the temptation to overclub and focus on accuracy over distance

approach

With no fairway to bail out to (0 yards wide at both 200y and 250y), you must commit to hitting the green - there's no safe landing area short or long

green

Target the center of this generous 5450 square foot green - with dimensions of 21 yards by 40 yards, you have plenty of room for error if you avoid the edges

tee shot

Take one extra club and swing smoothly - the 0-yard landing zone from the tee means any mishit will find trouble, so prioritize solid contact over aggressive swings

hazard warning

While no bunkers are identified around this green, the complete absence of safe areas (0-yard fairway width) means any shot missing the target will likely find penalty areas or rough
