Strategy Tips

tee shot

Aim for a controlled 200-yard tee shot to find the optimal landing zone where the fairway is 24 yards wide, giving you the best angle for your approach while avoiding the longer carry.

Beware of bunkers positioned at 262 yards from the tee - longer hitters should either lay up short of this distance or ensure they can carry well beyond the sand.

approach

green

The green's generous dimensions of 34 by 36 yards provide a forgiving target, but pin position will be crucial - aim for the center of this large putting surface to avoid three-putts.
