Strategy Tips

tee shot

Focus on accuracy over distance - the fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards wide at 200 yards to just 12 yards wide at 250 yards, making longer drives increasingly risky.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 271.8 yards from the tee guard the narrowest part of the fairway - avoid driver if you typically carry 270+ yards to stay short of trouble.

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark with a 3-wood or hybrid to find the widest part of the fairway at 24 yards, leaving a manageable mid-iron approach.

approach

With the green measuring 30 yards wide by 40 yards deep, you have a generous target - prioritize finding the correct tier based on pin position rather than attacking tight pins.
