Strategy Tips

tee shot

At only 300 yards, this short par-4 offers strategic options off the tee. The fairway widens from 52 yards at 200 yards to 63 yards at 250 yards, making a controlled driver or 3-wood the ideal play to set up a short iron approach.

approach

With the green measuring 4,260 square feet (26 yards by 33 yards), you'll have a generous target for your approach shot. From the 200-yard landing zone, expect a wedge or 9-iron into this receptive green.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 261 yards from the tee. While this is beyond the hole's total length of 300 yards, these hazards may affect adjacent holes or create visual distractions during your round.

tee shot

Consider laying up to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 52 yards wide, leaving yourself a comfortable 100-yard approach shot to the large green. This conservative strategy minimizes risk on this short par-4.

green

The green's dimensions of 26 yards by 33 yards provide ample room for approach shots, but pay attention to pin position. With such a large putting surface, two-putting from the wrong tier could be challenging.
