Hole 3 at Memorial Park Golf Course is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg left. From the championship tees, it measures 439 yards and has a handicap of 5. The hole features two bunkers, which are strategically placed to catch errant tee shots. However, they only make up 2% of the total greenside bunkers on this hole.
The fairway width is relatively narrow at just 27 yards, so accuracy off the tee is crucial for setting up an ideal approach shot. For most golfers hitting from these tees, using a driver would be recommended as it provides enough distance while also keeping them in play.
At Memorial Park Golf Course, weather can play a significant role in how each hole plays out. In the summer months (June-August), temperatures can reach over 90 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity levels that may affect ball flight conditions. In contrast, during winter (December-February), temperatures can drop below freezing and strong winds may come into play.
Based on average distances for our golfer's clubs (driver ~217 yards;7 iron ~140 yards; pitching wedge ~120 yards), we recommend using their driver off the tee to get as close to the green as possible without risking going into one of the two bunkers or missing the fairway entirely.
For their approach shot from around 220-250 yards out (depending on where their drive lands), we suggest using either a long iron or hybrid club due to potential wind conditions and altitude changes affecting ball flight distance.
Overall, Hole #3 at Memorial Park Golf Course requires precision and strategy both off the tee and approaching the green. With careful planning and execution based on weather conditions throughout each season, golfers have an opportunity to score well on this challenging par four.

Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Use a driver off the tee to maximize distance and stay in play.
2. Aim for the center of the fairway, as it is narrow and errant shots may end up in one of two strategically placed bunkers.
3. Take into account weather conditions when choosing clubs for approach shots. In hot and humid summer months, expect shorter ball flight distances, so consider using a long iron or hybrid club instead of a 7 iron from 220-250 yards out.
4. Pay attention to altitude changes on this hole, as it can also affect ball flight distance.
5. Avoid going long on your approach shot, as there is potential for trouble behind the green with trees and rough areas.
6. If you do end up in one of the greenside bunkers, aim to get out safely onto the green rather than trying to go for an aggressive shot that could result in getting stuck or hitting into another bunker.
7. Stay focused throughout this challenging par 4 and trust your strategy off the tee and approaching the green for an opportunity at a good score on this hole.
Remember, precision is key on Hole #3 at Memorial Park Golf Course – make smart decisions based on course layout and weather conditions to set yourself up for success!
