Target the center-left portion of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway narrows significantly from 42 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 36 yards at 250 yards. This narrowing demands precision, especially for longer hitters who may reach the tighter section.
Plan your approach shot carefully to this substantial green measuring 5,036 square feet (25 yards by 34 yards). The generous green size allows for aggressive pin-hunting, but club selection is critical from 396 yards total length to ensure you're not short-sided.
Be aware of the bunker positioned at 257 yards from the tee. Long hitters using driver need to either lay back to 240 yards or ensure they can carry beyond 270 yards to avoid this strategically placed sand trap that guards the landing zone.
Consider using a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee to position your ball in the wider 200-yard section of the fairway (42 yards wide), leaving a manageable mid-iron approach while avoiding the bunker at 257 yards and the narrower fairway beyond.
With the green's rectangular dimensions of 25 yards by 34 yards, study the pin position carefully. The green's length provides multiple pin positions, so aim for the correct section rather than just hitting to the center of this sizable putting surface.
This 396-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
