Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the hole playing 572 yards, driver is the optimal choice off the tee to set up a manageable second shot. The fairway offers generous width at both 200 yards (49 yards wide) and 250 yards (47 yards wide), giving you room to swing freely while avoiding the gaping fairway bunker on the right.

approach

Accept this as a three-shot par 5 and play conservatively for your second shot. Use a long iron or fairway wood to position yourself just short of the bunkers at 548-566 yards, setting up an ideal wedge distance to the elevated green rather than trying to force a risky approach.

green

The compact green measures just 3,458 square feet (29 yards by 22 yards), making precision crucial on your approach shot. With the green sloping back to front and featuring a lower left tier guarded by a deep bunker, aim for the center-right portion to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Three greenside bunkers positioned at 548, 564, and 566 yards create a significant hazard complex around the green. These deep bunkers, particularly the one guarding the lower left tier, can turn a routine up-and-down into a difficult recovery shot.
