Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 474-yard par 4 demands accuracy over distance from the tee. The fairway opens up significantly as you move down - only 48 yards wide at the 200-yard mark but expands to 64 yards at 250 yards. Consider laying back with a 3-wood or hybrid to find the wider portion of the fairway rather than forcing a driver into the narrower landing area.

approach

With the fairway widening to 64 yards at the 250-yard mark, longer hitters who can safely reach this area will have a significant advantage for their approach shot. From 250 yards out, you'll have a much better angle and more room for error on your second shot to this challenging desert layout.

green

The green measures 28 yards by 42 yards (5,753 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target that requires precision with your approach. Given the desert setting and lack of forgiveness around greens at courses like Troon North, hitting and holding this green is crucial - missing could result in difficult recovery shots from the surrounding desert terrain.

approach

At 474 yards, this par 4 will likely require two solid shots for most players. Plan your tee shot to leave yourself in the optimal position in the wider 250-yard zone, then focus on a controlled approach to the 28x42 yard green rather than trying to overpower the hole.
