Strategy Tips

tee shot

On this 493-yard par 5, position your tee shot carefully to avoid the bunker at 209 yards. A controlled drive with a 3-wood or hybrid will keep you short of trouble while still allowing you to reach the green in two with a strong second shot.

approach

green

The large green measuring 6,225 square feet (33 yards by 37 yards) is very receptive to approach shots, making this an excellent birdie opportunity. The generous target allows you to be aggressive with longer approach shots when going for the green in two.
