The absence of major hazards shifts focus entirely to execution, making every shot count on this risk-free but reward-demanding closer.

Target your tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is narrowest at just 24 yards wide. A controlled drive here sets up the best angle for your approach.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 241 yards from the tee. Longer hitters should consider laying up short of this distance or ensure they can carry well beyond.
With 395 total yards and bunkers at 241, your approach shot will likely be from 150-155 yards. Plan your tee shot distance accordingly to leave a comfortable mid-iron into the green.
The green measures 31 by 34 yards (4884 sq ft), providing a generous target. Focus on finding the correct tier rather than attacking tight pin positions.
If you can drive past the 250-yard mark, you'll benefit from the fairway widening to 36 yards, giving you more room for error on longer drives.
