This hole presents a unique strategic challenge with no traditional fairway landing zones - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks, indicating either a dogleg or forced carry situation that demands precise positioning.
Based on the course's reputation for risk-reward challenges and the bunker positioned at 374.4 yards, consider a conservative approach with a long iron or fairway wood to avoid the right-side fairway bunker mentioned in course guides.
Your approach shot will likely play to an elevated green from around 332 yards out (near the forward bunker position), requiring careful club selection to account for the elevation change and the green's back-to-front slope.
The putting surface measures 4,339 square feet with dimensions of 21 yards by 32 yards, providing a reasonably sized target, but be aware of the lower left tier that's protected by deep bunkers as noted in course descriptions.
At 390 yards for this par-4, length management is crucial - the hole's design with zero fairway width measurements suggests this may be a strategic positioning hole rather than a pure driving test, echoing the Tom Fazio philosophy of high-stakes risk and reward.
This 390-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
