Red Course - Hole 3

Red Course - 3rd Hole

Par 3

Stroke Index: Ladies 15, Men 17

The 3rd hole is the first of the excellent par threes at Cumberwell. From the back tee it can be quite formidable playing into the wind but the forward tees offer a chance of a birdie. Clubbing is the key as anything short can role back down the slope and into the front bunkers, or worse still, the pond that fronts the picturesque hole. Beware the wind that comes in from the left as the tee is sheltered by a copse of trees.

Pro Advice

If the pin is set on the edge, just play for the centre. Getting too greedy and missing the target can leave some tricky short game challenges on this plateau green.
