Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the wider landing area at 250 yards for maximum options on your approach. The fairway opens up significantly from 53 yards wide at 200 yards to 68 yards wide at 250 yards, giving you more room for error with driver.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 346 yards - just 19 yards from this 365-yard par 4. Any approach shot that runs long or aggressive pin-hunting will find sand, making up-and-down challenging.

approach

Club up significantly on your approach shot, especially when playing into the prevailing coastal winds. With the green measuring 35 by 33 yards, you have a generous target, so prioritize distance control over precision.

approach

Avoid the fairway bunkers at 242 and 271 yards by playing conservatively off the tee if needed. These hazards guard the ideal approach distances, so a shorter tee shot to 200-220 yards keeps you clear while still leaving a manageable approach.

green

Take advantage of the large 6,275 square foot green by aiming for the center rather than attacking pins. This substantial putting surface gives you room to be aggressive with distance while avoiding the greenside bunker.
