The Third Hole is a Mid-Length Par 4, Slight Dog Leg Left.
Bordered by the townhouse development of the Osprey Links Sub-Division to the left and mounding and moguls to the right, hitting a good drive down the middle of the fairway will normally leave the golfer a long wedge to short mid-iron into a green defended with bunkers to the right and mounds to the left.
Trying to shorten the hole by staying left off the tee could be rewarded with a long bunker shot into the green, or worse, out of bounds that defends the private homeowners property.
