Strategy Tips

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach at 183.6, 198.8, and 210.0 yards, creating a gauntlet that narrows the safe landing window—club selection must account for carrying the furthest bunker at 210.0 yards or laying up short of the first at 183.6 yards.

tee shot

At 217 yards, this par 3 demands a long-iron or hybrid capable of carrying the entire bunker complex; players lacking that distance should favor a controlled layup to the 183.6-yard mark rather than risking the sand short of the green.

approach

With bunkers stacked between 183.6 and 210.0 yards, the ideal shot shape flies past 210.0 yards to land softly on the putting surface, avoiding the compressed bunker zone entirely.

green

The medium-sized green (5,548 sq ft, 38 yards by 27 yards) offers a reasonably generous target, but precise distance control off the tee is still critical given the bunker gauntlet protecting its front edge.

green

Given the green's 38-yard depth, players should factor pin position into club selection—back pins add nearly a full club versus front placements just past the 210.0-yard bunker.
