Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 346-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee with the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards - consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver.

With bunkers positioned at 323 yards, most approach shots will play over or around these hazards to a compact green measuring just 22 by 31 yards - club selection and accuracy are critical.

tee shot

The landing zone starts immediately from the tee with no buffer area, meaning any wayward drive will find trouble - focus on finding the fairway centerline rather than distance.

green

The small green size of only 3,951 square feet requires precise approach shots - aim for the center of the green and let your putting take care of the rest rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Bunkers at 323 yards will catch longer approach shots on this short par 4 - if you're within 25-30 yards of the green after your tee shot, take note of these greenside hazards when selecting your approach club.
