Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 196-yard par-3 demands precision club selection and accuracy. With no fairway landing areas available, your tee shot must carry all the way to the green or find trouble.

green

Target the center of this compact 3,447 square foot green measuring just 30 yards by 26 yards. The small target leaves little margin for error, so prioritize accuracy over pin-hunting.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunkers positioned at 190, 207, and 211 yards from the tee. These hazards frame the green and will penalize both short and long shots, making distance control critical.

approach

With the green dimensions of 30 yards by 26 yards, use one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot. The compact target rewards conservative club selection and controlled tempo.

hazard warning

Remember this is TPC Southwind's island green hole - similar to TPC Sawgrass's famous 17th. Water surrounds the green, so there's no bailout area. Commit fully to your yardage and club selection.
