Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, precision is critical off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into the narrow landing area.

approach

From a well-positioned tee shot around 200 yards, you'll have approximately 193 yards remaining to a green that measures 20 yards wide by 35 yards deep. The green's rectangular shape favors length over width, so focus on distance control.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 298.9 yards from the tee can catch longer drives, especially if you're trying to bomb driver down this narrow corridor. These hazards are within range for stronger players hitting driver.

green

The green's compact 4,272 square feet means there's limited room for error on your approach shot. With dimensions of 20 yards wide, missing the green laterally will likely result in a difficult up-and-down.

tee shot

At 393 yards total length, this par 4 rewards course management over raw distance. Playing conservatively off the tee to the 12-yard-wide fairway at 200 yards leaves a manageable mid-iron approach rather than a risky long iron from the rough.
