Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 186-yard par 3 demands precision over power - focus on club selection that gets you to the pin distance rather than trying to overpower the hole

hazard warning

green

The generous 6,193 square foot green (25x47 yards) offers multiple pin positions - study pin placement and aim for the fat part of the green rather than attacking tight pins

approach

With no fairway to bail out to, this is a target golf hole requiring aerial precision - commit fully to your yardage and swing with confidence

green

The deep green dimension of 47 yards means club selection is critical based on pin position - a front pin versus back pin could be a 2-3 club difference
