Overview: A slightly long par-3 hole.

Plan & Play

Even from the regular tee, this par-3 stretches to 190 yards.
Though the green is spacious, a deep and wide bunker gapes open at its front right, ready to penalize any misstep with an immediate impact on your score.
To secure a par, one possible strategy is to aim for the left side of the green, rather than going directly for the pin.
This hole demands not only smart club selection and a keen sense of wind direction, but also the courage to choose: play it safe or take on the challenge.
A true test of skill in a single swing.

Tips

The green is a receptive one, with two large mounds located at the back.
Approaching from beyond the pin becomes significantly more difficult due to the terrain, so aiming for the front side is generally the safer strategy.
Given the hole’s length, aiming for the center of the green is also recommended.
To avoid the right-side bunker, it's easier to approach from the right side of the tee box.
