Streamsong Red Hole 3

To see the entire write up go here


Par 4
404| 391 | 383 | 322 yards

The 3rd is a dogleg right par 4 that offers water down the left of the teeing area.  It is 220 yards to safety down that side of the hole.  Down the right the hole is framed off the tee by a large mound.  The best play is to split the visible portion of the fairway.

Nothing can be gained by trying to cut distance off on the right side as a lacework of bunkers runs up the entirety of that side, hidden from view on the tee.  Down the left a single bunker comes into play, strategically placed in the typical landing area for tee balls.


Missing that left bunker off the tee doesn't necessarily mean safety.  The hole is bordered on that side by sandy scrub also.

If you do find safety on your first shot, your second shot will need to avoid a single central bunker which is about 10 paces short of the green.  The green is also framed on the right by a long narrow bunker which borders the trees running down the right side of the hole and playing as lateral hazard.

This green is another narrow but very deep putting surface at around 42 yards in length.
