Par 4 – 456-504 yards
There is likely no other hole at the Country Club that more accurately represents the roll, contour, and landforms of the property than the 3rd hole all the way down to the pond in the rear of the hole that really isn’t in play. The pond is used by members in the winter for ice skating and the small building on the pond houses the skaters to get warm during skating breaks. The hole has so much contour and texture throughout. The new championship tee is further left and almost makes the hole appear fairly straight. Chasing your tee shot into the hourglass fairway takes on risk because of how it narrows the further you play toward the hole. The puddingstone rock outcroppings are your first encounter with the dramatic feature on the course. The two bluffs that the fairway snakes between are spectacular. The recessed green side bunkering beautifully frames the rectangular shaped green and Gil Hanse’s team reclaimed the front portion of the green adding challenging pin locations. Brookline is a wonderful piece of land and hole #3 proves it.
