Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway opens up significantly as you get closer to the green - it's 35 yards wide at the 200-yard mark but expands to 55 yards wide at 250 yards. This Robert Trent Jones Sr. design rewards aggressive driving, so consider taking driver to take advantage of the wider landing area.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 375.6, 390.9, and 391.3 yards from the tee, your approach shot will be from around 150-200 yards to a compact 2,707 square foot green. The tight clustering of greenside bunkers is a classic Jones Sr. signature - precision over power is key here.

green

The green measures just 19 yards by 36 yards (2,707 sq ft), making it a relatively small target for a 402-yard par 4. With Jones Sr.'s signature 'daunting greenside bunkers' protecting this compact surface, club selection and distance control are critical on your approach.

hazard warning

The bunkers are strategically placed within a tight 16-yard span (375.6y to 391.3y), creating a gauntlet around the green typical of Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s challenging designs. Missing your approach shot by even a few yards in any direction will likely find sand.

approach

At 402 yards total length with bunkers starting at 375.6 yards, you'll have roughly 25-30 yards of approach room before the greenside hazards begin. Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable approach distance that avoids both the tight fairway at 200 yards and the bunker complex.
