Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 419-yard par 4, as the fairway widens significantly from 34 yards at the 200-yard mark to 47 yards at 250 yards. Longer hitters should favor accuracy over distance to avoid the narrower landing area.

approach

Plan your approach shot to avoid the greenside bunkers positioned at 369 and 372 yards from the tee. With the green measuring 26 yards wide by 40 yards deep, you have a reasonable target, but precise distance control is essential.

green

The green's 4,052 square foot surface provides a decent target size, but with Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s signature design featuring daunting greenside bunkers, focus on hitting to the center of the putting surface rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Be aware that the bunkers at 369 and 372 yards are strategically placed to catch aggressive second shots on this 419-yard hole. Club selection should prioritize carrying these hazards while still stopping on the 40-yard deep green.
