Position your tee shot carefully in the generous landing area - the fairway is 73 yards wide at 200 yards, giving you plenty of room to find the short grass and set up your approach.
Avoid going for the green in two - the fairway dramatically narrows to just 24 yards wide at 250 yards, making long approaches extremely risky with severe penalties for missing the target.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 220.7 yards from the tee - these will catch aggressive drives that carry too far, so consider club selection carefully off the tee.
Lay up to your favorite wedge distance on your second shot - at 463 yards total, a conservative 200-yard tee shot leaves 263 yards, perfect for a 100-120 yard layup and short iron into the green.
Target the center of this generous 4,026 square foot green (27x28 yards) - the large putting surface gives you margin for error on your approach shot, so focus on distance control rather than pin-hunting.
This 463-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
