Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the generous landing zone around 200 yards where the fairway is only 30 yards wide, requiring precision over distance. A controlled 3-wood or long iron will set up the ideal approach angle while avoiding the fairway bunker positioned at 265 yards.

approach

From the optimal tee shot position, you'll face a mid-iron approach of approximately 180-200 yards to a compact green measuring just 32 yards by 28 yards. Club selection is critical - take one extra club to ensure you clear the greenside bunkers.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive line off the tee - a bunker sits at 265 yards in the prime driving zone. Players attempting to bomb their drive will likely find sand, leaving a difficult recovery shot to the small green.

green

With only 5,257 square feet of putting surface, this green demands precision on approach shots. Miss in the right spots and leave yourself uphill putts whenever possible on this compact target.

approach

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 408 and 451 yards - these frame the green and punish slightly wayward approach shots. The small green size makes recovery from these bunkers extremely challenging.
