Strategy Tips

hazard warning

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.

tee shot

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.

approach

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.

green

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.

tee shot

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.
