Hole 3

Overview

A daunting blind tee shot awaits you on this long Par 5. All you can see is the sky and a lot of trouble, including a waste area directly in front of you, which helps explain why this is the No. 1 handicap hole on the course. The fairway is wide and there are bunkers left and right of the green, but plenty of room between them to play a links-style, pitch-and-run onto the green.

Pro Play Tips

Fortunately, a painted rock (white) provides an aiming point. Go too far left and you will wind up in the sagebrush on the left side of the expansive fairway. Going a little right of the rock is the preferred approach. A big hitter can reach the green in two, but us mere mortals come up short.
