Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway is relatively narrow at the prime landing zone, measuring just 26 yards wide at 200 yards from the tee. Focus on accuracy over distance with your driver or 3-wood to find the short grass and set up an optimal approach angle.

approach

Three greenside bunkers positioned at 348-365 yards from the tee guard the putting surface. With the hole playing 386 yards total, your approach will need to carry these hazards or find the narrow opening between them to reach the green safely.

green

The green is compact at 4,428 square feet with dimensions of 41 yards long by 24 yards wide. Club selection is critical on your approach - missing this relatively small target will leave challenging up-and-down opportunities around those greenside bunkers.

approach

The green's 24-yard width makes lateral misses particularly penal. Aim for the center of the green and take one extra club to ensure you clear the bunkers positioned 348-365 yards from the tee, rather than risk coming up short in the sand.
