This long par 4 demands distance off the tee — the right driver matters.
Shop Drivers →Strategy Tips
This 469-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee as the fairway is completely blocked at 200 yards, requiring either a layup strategy or a power carry to reach the 45-yard wide fairway at 250 yards.
Big hitters should aim to carry at least 250 yards to access the fairway, which opens up to a manageable 45 yards wide at that distance, setting up a shorter approach to the green.
Beware of greenside bunkers positioned at 469 and 491 yards - these guard the green area and will penalize approach shots that miss the target on this lengthy par 4.
The generous 4,989 square foot green measuring 28 by 32 yards provides a large target for approach shots, offering some forgiveness on this demanding long par 4.
Conservative players should consider laying up short of the 200-yard trouble area, accepting a longer approach shot rather than risking the blocked fairway zone.
This 469-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
