Strategy Tips

tee shot

At only 327 yards, this short par-4 rewards precision over power. The fairway remains generous at 56 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, making a controlled driver or 3-wood the smart play to stay in the short grass and set up an easy approach.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the landing area with the closest at 211 yards from the tee. Longer hitters should be aware of the bunker at 230 yards, which sits right in the prime landing zone for aggressive drives.

approach

With most tee shots landing around 200-230 yards, you'll face a short iron approach of 100-130 yards into a massive green measuring 11,532 square feet. This gives you plenty of room for error, so focus on pin position rather than just hitting the green.

green

The green's impressive dimensions of 47 yards by 45 yards mean pin position is crucial for scoring. With such a large putting surface in the Sonoran Desert, expect firm conditions that will favor controlled, lower trajectory approach shots.
