Hole # 3 (back to course map)


Hole number 3 gives you a beautiful panoramic view of the entire front 9 holes. Stop for a minute to enjoy the beautiful view across the valley floor, but do not let the view make you think this is an easy hole to play! The elevated tee box makes the tee shot spectacular, if you clear the trees on the hill. Hitting into the middle of the fairway will most likely leave you with a 165 - 180 yard approach shot. The shortcut to the hole here is to hit the ball along the edge of the trees on the left. In the summer a shot along the left rolls a long way. If the ball gets away from you to the right, it could end up in the trees or even in the lake on the 6th fairway. Real big hitters can run into trouble with the pond straight ahead, but this is a 300-yard shot.


This green slopes up to a flat top tier and is protected by two bunkers. The first bunker is on the left side approaching the hole and the second is behind the green. Too short left or too long will land you into the sand.
