Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 264 yards, this par-3 demands a strong, accurate tee shot. Consider playing one club less than the yardage suggests and focusing on the center of the massive 10,500 square foot green rather than attacking pins.

approach

The green's generous dimensions of 43 yards by 48 yards provide a large target, but club selection is critical on this long par-3. Don't be short - better to be long on this green than come up in front hazards.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 240 yards create a significant challenge just 24 yards short of the pin. These greenside bunkers will catch any slightly mis-hit shots, so ensure you take enough club to clear them.

green

With 10,500 square feet of putting surface, this green offers room for error but likely features multiple pin positions. Study the pin location and aim for the correct section rather than just the center of this expansive green.

tee shot

This hole plays as a true one-shot challenge with no landing zone short of the green. Commit fully to your club selection and swing - there's no bailout area for a conservative play.
