Strategy Tips

tee shot

At just 118 yards, this short par 3 demands precision over power. The compact green measuring 49 yards long by 20 yards wide requires exact distance control - club down and focus on smooth tempo rather than aggressive swings.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard this hole at distances of 104.8, 63.5, and 107.8 yards from the tee. The bunkers at 104.8y and 107.8y frame the green approach, making accurate yardage calculation critical for avoiding sand.

green

The double-tiered green covers 5,286 square feet but is only 20 yards wide, creating a narrow target. Study the pin position carefully - with such limited width, being on the wrong tier can lead to challenging two-putts.

approach

With the green measuring 49 yards in length, there's room for error front-to-back but not side-to-side. Aim for the center of the green and let the generous length work in your favor rather than attacking tight pin positions.

tee shot

The absence of a traditional landing zone (0 yards from tee) confirms this is a direct shot to the green. Take one extra club and make a controlled three-quarter swing to ensure you clear the front bunkers and reach the putting surface.
