Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 187-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection and accuracy rather than distance, as there's no fairway to bail out to if you miss the green.

approach

Target the center of this generous 6,488 square foot green (34y x 46y) to give yourself the best chance for par, as the large putting surface provides room for error on your approach shot.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker positioned at 152 yards from the tee - this front bunker guards the green approach and will catch any slightly short shots, so take one extra club to clear it safely.

hazard warning

A second bunker at 86 yards from the tee creates additional trouble around the green complex - study the pin position carefully to avoid short-siding yourself into these sandy hazards.

green

With the green measuring 46 yards in its longest dimension, pin position becomes crucial - adjust your aim point based on flag location to leave yourself an uphill putt on Caledonia's characteristically quick greens.
