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

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.
