Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 464-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee. With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is far more important than distance. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass.

approach

Plan your approach carefully around the bunkers positioned at 334 yards from the tee. If you're laying up short of these hazards, you'll face a longer second shot to a relatively small green measuring just 3,661 square feet.

green

The green's compact dimensions of 26 yards by 23 yards require precise approach shots. With such a small target, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions, especially from longer distances.

tee shot

For longer hitters, the bunkers at 334 yards are well within driving range on this 464-yard hole. Consider the risk-reward carefully - an aggressive driver might reach these hazards, while a conservative play leaves a manageable approach distance.
