While modest in yardage—playing between 85 and 142 yards depending on the tee—it demands exact distance control and confident execution. This is a scoring opportunity, but only for those who commit to the correct club and flight the ball with purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 0 0 0; position: relative;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Santa Rosa Golf Course - Hole 3 (SCPD)\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1165208767?h=d2ec7362b6\u0026amp;badge=0\u0026amp;autopause=0\u0026amp;player_id=0\u0026amp;app_id=58479\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYardages by Tee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 142 yards | \u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 yards | \u003cstrong\u003eSilver\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105 yards | \u003cstrong\u003eBronze\u003c\/strong\u003e: 89 yards | \u003cstrong\u003eWhite\u003c\/strong\u003e: 85 yards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes Hole 3 Strategic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort distance, high accountability – There’s no need for power; this hole is about dialed-in wedges or short irons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistance control matters most – A few yards long or short can leave a delicate recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue birdie opportunity – When struck well, this is one of the most realistic birdie chances on the front nine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlaying Strategy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is selecting the club that covers the center of the green—not just the pin.
