Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 212-yard par 3 demands precision over power. With no fairway width measured, you're hitting directly to the green, making club selection and accuracy paramount on this classic Donald Ross design.

green

Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 4,916 square feet (22y x 37y). The rectangular shape provides a reasonable margin for error, but Donald Ross greens are known for subtle slopes that can punish off-center approaches.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 200.4 yards from the tee - just short of this 212-yard hole. These strategically placed Ross bunkers will catch slightly under-clubbed shots, so ensure you have enough club to clear them.

approach

With the green dimensions of 22 yards by 37 yards, pay attention to pin position. The longer dimension gives you more room to work with when the pin is positioned along that axis, but demands more precision when it's on the shorter side.
