This 594-yard par 5 demands a strategic tee shot layup to avoid the bunker cluster at 304.1y and 322.2y. Favor a 3-wood or long iron that lands short of 300 yards to stay clear of trouble.
The fairway measures just 28 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, so accuracy off the tee is critical. Consider a controlled draw or fade shot shape rather than swinging for maximum distance.
A third bunker awaits at 537.9 yards, perfectly positioned to catch aggressive second shots. Players attempting to reach the green in two should account for this hazard when selecting their layup distance.
With a medium-category green spanning 41 yards in depth but only 25 yards wide, club selection for approach shots must prioritize accuracy over distance—err on the side of a shorter club to avoid missing the narrow target left or right.
The 6,112 square foot green offers a reasonable target, but its elongated 41-yard depth means distance control on approach is more important than lateral precision—club up or down based on pin position front-to-back.
This 594-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
