Scorecard
Description:
The third hole is a par 3. Water runs across the fairway and along the left side of the fairway. Fescue and trees separate the adjacent running third and fourth fairways. The elevated green is guarded by bunkers on the left and right sides.
How to Play It:
The first par-3 is a great looking and challenging hole. The design of the green is much more conducive to an approach from the shorter length due to it’s abrupt front edge. This was a new hole created by Stiles in 1925, as players formerly went to the current 4th tee from the second green. The 3rd was originally a much shorter hole, having been lengthened from 160 yards to its current 207.
