Strategy Tips

tee shot

At just 141 yards, this short par 3 demands precision over power. Focus on club selection and tempo rather than distance, as the compact green at 5,690 square feet (40y x 26y) requires accurate placement.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 125.1 yards from the tee - just 16 yards short of the pin. These greenside hazards will catch any slightly mis-hit shots, so ensure you have enough club to clear them comfortably.

green

The green measures 40 yards deep by 26 yards wide, giving you a relatively narrow target width. Pin position will be crucial - aim for the center of the green to ensure you stay within the 26-yard width and avoid short-siding yourself.

approach

With no fairway landing area available (0 yards at both 200y and 250y), this is a direct shot to the green. Take one extra club to ensure you reach the putting surface, especially if there's any wind or the pin is tucked back on the 40-yard deep green.

train this shot at home

This par 3 is ideal for working on your short iron. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
