Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 181-yard par-3 requires precise club selection and accurate distance control. With no fairway landing areas, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green, making yardage calculation critical for success.

green

The green measures 47 yards long by 19 yards wide, creating a relatively narrow target that demands accuracy over power. Favor the center of this 5,042 square foot putting surface to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green at 164.8, 166.0, and 187.6 yards from the tee. The front bunkers at 164-166 yards can catch slightly short shots, while the back bunker at 187.6 yards threatens longer approaches.

approach

With bunkers positioned around the green perimeter and no bailout areas, commit fully to your yardage and swing with confidence. The narrow 19-yard width means missing left or right will likely find trouble.
