Hole 3 – Cardinal, Par 5

This is one of golf’s classic holes and the fourth on the original 12-hole course. With a sharp dog leg to the right, the sensible play is to lay up short of the Cardinal Bunker 230 yards from the tee. Favour the right side of the fairway to reduce the angle and shorten the hole. Strong players can take on the green directly others should hit over the vast and deep bunker to leave around 100 yards to the green. The Pow burn is out of bounds its entire length.
