Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway widening from 37 yards at 200 yards to 49 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the extra room by carrying their drive past the 200-yard mark where the landing area opens up significantly.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers at 285.5, 304.9, and 332.5 yards from the tee create a gauntlet for aggressive drivers. The bunker at 285.5 yards is particularly dangerous for moderate hitters, while big hitters must navigate the complex at 304.9 and 332.5 yards.

approach

At only 335 yards total length, this short par-4 offers birdie opportunities, but the compact 5,284 square foot green (31y x 37y) demands precision on approach shots. Club selection and distance control are more critical than power.

tee shot

Conservative players should target the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 37 yards wide, leaving a comfortable wedge or short iron approach while avoiding the bunker complex that begins at 285.5 yards.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 31 yards by 37 yards require precise approach shots. Missing this target will likely result in difficult up-and-down situations, making accuracy more valuable than distance on the approach.
