Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 3 plays only 147 yards, so club selection is about precision, not distance. Take one more club than you think if wind is into you, as the green's large 7628 sq ft surface still has demanding pin positions on this signature-caliber hole.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 140.3, 126.4, and 119.1 yards guard the approach at nearly every distance short of the green, meaning a mis-struck tee shot has little margin for error before finding sand.

approach

Because the nearest bunker sits at just 119.1 yards, players should favor a shot that carries at least this distance to avoid the front hazards, especially on a shorter shot like this 147-yard par 3.

green

The green is categorized as large at 59 yards long by 27 yards wide, offering plenty of putting surface to work with once you've avoided the bunker cluster short of the green—accuracy off the tee is rewarded with generous target size.

tee shot

With bunkers spread between 119.1 and 140.3 yards, aim tee shots to carry the full 147 yards and land on the green's putting surface rather than laying up short, where the sand hazards are most concentrated.
