This 239-yard par-3 demands precise club selection and commitment to your line. With no fairway landing zone available, you must carry your tee shot all the way to the green, making distance control absolutely critical.
Water guards the entire right side of this hole, similar to TPC Sawgrass's famous island green. Favor the left side of the compact 30x20 yard green to avoid the water hazard that has claimed countless balls from tour professionals.
The green measures just 3,344 square feet, making it one of the smaller targets you'll face. This tight landing area requires pinpoint accuracy - any mishit will likely find trouble with water right and bunkers guarding other areas.
Bunkers positioned at 243.8 and 255.6 yards indicate potential trouble areas beyond the green. Focus on landing your ball softly on the front portion of the green to avoid running through into back-side hazards.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
