Man that is a nice looking par 3.... Just a thought, FWIW....

Ive drawn a bunker front right of the greensite, to give even more of an added "Oh Lord" factor... Even if you place a pin right behind it... It gives you added toughness, pinching in the front of the greensite
as well as the thought of "Ok I need to make it over the bunker on front right, and NOT hit the water right, on the pin you have on the screenshot..

Just some added mental stress for us the player..

I love the look of the hole however, but just thought hey, SKEER em even more with one additional bunker.

Thanks, guys

Terry, I agree that your bunker makes the hole look doubly impressive. My one concern is that I've noticed with the hang time the ball gets, if there's any wind whatever, this becomes an extremely difficult green to hit. I'm thinking, for now, that I'll leave it be, and see what happens further on.

Thanks,

Alex

Great looking hole! I love how the trouble comes into play if you miss left or right. 269 yards with that trouble will make for a very difficult 3.

How about: Forget Terry's trap (no offense, Terry!) and lengthen the pond so that it runs next to the green; that leaves the fairway approach open but makes the right side more deadly.

Thanks, Bryce

I can't believe I didn't remember to put the top picture on. The pond does run the whole length of the green.
