Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 227-yard par-3 demands precision club selection and commitment to your line. With Pete Dye's signature design elements at play, there's no room for error - choose a club that gets you comfortably to the pin without overpowering the shot.

green

The generous 11,485 square foot green (50y x 45y) provides a large target, but Pete Dye greens are notoriously complex. Focus on hitting the correct section of the green rather than firing at every pin position - the size works in your favor if you play smart.

hazard warning

With no fairway at any distance, this is a pure carry shot over the ravine mentioned in course descriptions. The dramatic, glacier-forged terrain means anything short of the green is likely lost - commit fully to carrying the entire distance.

approach

The absence of identified bunkers doesn't mean this hole lacks teeth - Pete Dye's 'devilish' design likely features natural hazards and severe slopes. Play conservatively to the center-left of the large green to avoid hidden trouble areas.

tee shot

With the landing zone at 0 yards from the tee, this confirms it's an all-carry shot with no bailout areas. Take one extra club to ensure you clear all trouble and reach the putting surface - better to be long on this 'wild green' than short in the hazard.
