Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 550-yard par 5 offers strategic options off the tee. With the fairway measuring 36 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on accuracy over distance to set up your approach. A controlled tee shot to the 200-yard zone keeps you in the short grass for your second shot decision.

approach

The fairway widens slightly to 38 yards at the 250-yard mark, giving longer hitters more room to work with on aggressive second shots. However, evaluate your lie and distance carefully - this extra 2 yards of width can make the difference between a safe layup and a risky go-for-it attempt.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green area at 535, 542, and 570 yards from the tee. These hazards create a gauntlet around the green, so approach shots must be precisely placed. The bunker at 535 yards is particularly dangerous for aggressive second shots that come up short.

green

The green measures 30 yards by 30 yards (4,996 square feet), providing a generous target for approach shots. This square-shaped green offers multiple pin positions, so pay attention to flag placement to optimize your angle of attack and avoid the surrounding bunkers.

approach

At 550 yards, this par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the bunkers positioned at 542 and 570 yards make going for the green a high-risk, high-reward proposition. Consider your distance control and the pin position before attempting to reach this well-protected green in regulation.
