3rd Hole

3rd Hole

Onto hole 3 which presents a tee shot into a reasonably wide fairway depending on how far you want to go. If you go all the way to the corner then out of bounds definitely becomes an issue but makes the second shot far more inviting if using a PW or 9 iron as opposed to a 6 or 7 iron. The green and approach are guarded by some very big and deep bunkers so a flighted second shot is almost always required. There is no good miss into this green other than slightly short and straight which isn’t the most common of misses! The green is also tricky sitting left to right and narrow. All in a tough hole but with the prevailing wind helping quite often you will be coming in to the green with a short iron so if played with full commitment then a birdie is a possibility but you would be happy to leave the green with a par 4. For me though the crucial shot is the tee shot pick the correct club to hit the wide part of the fairway and make the hole a little easier.
