Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents a major challenge with no defined fairway at the traditional landing zones - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee, indicating severe hazards or terrain features that eliminate conventional play.

tee shot

Given the 0-yard fairway width at standard distances, consider a conservative layup strategy with a mid-iron or hybrid to position short of the hazards, likely around 150-180 yards to stay in play and set up a longer but safer approach.

approach

The approach shot to this 429-yard par 4 will likely be from an awkward distance due to the forced layup, requiring precise distance control to hit the compact 4,679 square foot green that measures just 36 yards deep by 20 yards wide.

green

Target the center of this narrow green which spans only 20 yards in width - missing left or right will likely result in difficult recovery shots given the tight target dimensions.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 389.9, 379.2, and 343.6 yards from the tee - these likely guard the green complex and approach area, making distance control crucial on your second shot.
