Strategy Tips

tee shot

With a generous fairway width of 73 yards at 200 yards and expanding to 80 yards at 250 yards, this short par 4 rewards aggressive driving. Consider hitting driver or 3-wood to get as close as possible to the green for a short iron approach.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone between 314-335 yards from the tee. If you're a long hitter, be aware that an overly aggressive drive could find these hazards, leaving a difficult recovery shot.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 34 yards by 28 yards demand accurate approach shots. With such a short hole, there's no excuse for missing this target - take one more club and swing smoothly for better distance control.
