Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 574-yard par 5, as the fairway is only 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Accuracy is more important than distance - consider using a 3-wood or hybrid to ensure you find the short grass.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 515 yards, your second shot strategy becomes crucial. If you're within range, a well-placed fairway wood can set up a short iron approach, but missing the narrow fairway leaves you with a difficult recovery.

green

The green measures just 21 by 23 yards (3,080 sq ft), making it a relatively small target for your approach. Club selection and distance control are critical - this compact green won't forgive mis-hit approaches.

hazard warning

The extremely narrow 12-yard fairway width at key landing zones means any wayward shots will likely find trouble. Consider playing conservatively with irons off the tee to ensure you stay in play for your approach shots.
