When playing this hole during winter months, golfers should expect cold temperatures and potential windy conditions due to its coastal location on Oregon's rugged coastline. During spring and fall seasons, golfers can expect milder temperatures with some light winds coming off the ocean; however summertime brings hot weather with strong breezes that could affect ball flight trajectory significantly when hitting your approach shot into the green. Taking these local weather factors into account will be essential for optimal scoring on Hole 3 at Pacific Dunes Course!

For an average golfer hitting their driver ~217 yards, it may be wise to hit an iron or hybrid off the tee here in order to keep your ball in play around this dogleg left turn - particularly if you're dealing with stronger winds coming from either side of fairway. For those who choose to lay up short of bunkers before reaching green area (or if you find yourself blocked out by trees), use your 7 iron (~140 yard) or pitching wedge (~120 yard) for an accurate approach shot onto this large 15292 sq ft putting surface!
