From the elevated tee, aim for the center of the fairway which widens from 48 yards at the 200-yard mark to 56 yards at 250 yards. The roller-coaster fairway slopes significantly toward the canyon, so favor the high side to avoid the ball rolling into trouble.
With no bunkers protecting the green, your main challenge is distance control on this 444-yard par-4. The compact 4,598 square foot green (33x25 yards) demands precision - club up if you're between clubs to ensure you clear the canyon and reach the putting surface.
Known as the toughest hole on the back nine, this 444-yard test requires a strategic tee shot. The fairway's generous 56-yard width at the 250-yard mark rewards longer hitters, but accuracy is crucial given the severe canyon penalty for errant shots.
The relatively small green dimensions of 33 yards by 25 yards make approach shot accuracy critical. With the fairway sloping toward the canyon, ensure your approach shot has enough carry to reach the green and stay above the hole for easier putting.
This bunkerless hole's primary defense is the deepest dry canyon on the course that runs along the fairway. The entire roller-coaster fairway slopes toward this hazard, making course management and conservative play essential for avoiding big numbers.
This 444-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.
