Strategy Tips

tee shot

Favor a club that leaves you short of the 264.1y fairway bunker; with the fairway still a generous 33 yards wide at 250y, there's room to shape the tee shot away from that hazard.

hazard warning

Watch for the bunker positioned at 213.5y off the tee—shorter hitters or those laying up should aim to land beyond or well left/right of this yardage to avoid the sand.

approach

On a 405-yard par 4, most approach shots will be mid-to-short irons; be mindful of the 376.5y greenside bunker guarding the target, especially if the pin is cut on that side.

green

This green falls into the small category at just 3,459 sq ft (17y x 34y), so precision with the approach club is critical—missing the putting surface leaves a difficult up-and-down.

tee shot

With the fairway width at 33 yards at the 250y mark, longer hitters have room to attack, but should still account for the bunker at 264.1y that sits just beyond this landing zone.
