Makena South
Hole 3
372 yards
Par 4
This slight dog leg par 4 is relatively short but is heavy bunkered to catch a miss hit or any drive that fades. This tee is guarded by trees on the left and the trade winds blow from left to right taking your drive towards the clutter of right bunkers. Look towards the far left bunker about 300 yds. out and aim at this left side. A good drive leaves a short iron into a well-bunkered green. Again, keep your approach shot to the left side as the green opens and balls will kick right off the left to right sloping green. A well-played short iron will give you birdie attempt. Best to get a low score here as the course toughens up for the next several holes.

I played a drive left of the bunkers but it faded and caught the second bunker about 100 yards out. I hit a gap wedge to the middle of the green and missed my birdie put. Par 4.

Best Tip: Hit the Driver or Fairway Wood down the left side and favor the left side of the green. This smart play should lead to easy par or possible birdie.
