Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway widening from 44 yards at 200 yards to 54 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the extra room by carrying their drive past the 200-yard mark for a more generous landing area.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 237.7 yards from the tee - this distance aligns perfectly with many golfers' driver carry, so club selection is crucial to avoid finding sand off the tee.

approach

After a well-positioned drive to the 250-yard area, you'll face approximately 150-160 yards to a substantial green measuring 5,046 square feet, giving you room to be aggressive with your approach shot.

green

The green's generous dimensions of 26 yards by 37 yards provide multiple pin positions and recovery options, but also mean longer putts - focus on getting your approach to the correct tier or section.

tee shot

For players who struggle with accuracy, consider laying up short of the bunkers at 237.7 yards with a 3-wood or hybrid to the safer 44-yard-wide section at 200 yards, leaving a longer but more manageable approach.
