Hole 3 Discussion

The third is a fun par 5, and will be reachable for some. The tee shot plays to a leftward dogleg, and so player with a strong standard draw should do well, and a lefty fade/cut should be able to get around the corner easily. Distance is important here as longer hitters might end up overshooting the fairway.

The second shot plays up to a small creek and sidewalk that exist as a cross hazard, so the layup is nontrivial, and distance can be easy to misjudge at elevation.

The approach should be a simple wedge for folks who’ve laid up. Players who are trying to get there in two will have a long approach to a small green with two fronting bunkers. Thankfully this green is mostly flat.
