Now the course gets nasty. Hole #3 is a 600 foot, double dogleg, par 5 beast which combines a narrow fairway, hefty elevation change (71 foot rise), and TWO tight turns. This is the first of many holes which will require intelligent course management and accurate shot placement to score well. Several false "short cuts" will tempt players to try to cut the corners, but missing those tiny windows will add strokes to an already difficult hole. Your first shot should be placed in front of the Silver teepad at the bottom of the hill. If the second shot is placed at the top of the ridge where the fairway turns to the right, the player will be left with about 190 feet to the pin and a chance at a birdie. But one mistake, and extra strokes will stack up quickly. Play this hole clean, and you'll gain strokes on the field.
