Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a controlled tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest point of 36 yards, giving you the best angle and room for error before the dramatic narrowing ahead.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive driver play - the fairway dramatically narrows to just 12 yards at the 250-yard mark, making longer tee shots extremely risky with severe penalties for missing the narrow landing zone.

approach

From the 200-yard position, you'll have approximately 188 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 22 by 34 yards, making this an ideal mid-iron approach opportunity.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 347.7 yards - while beyond typical driving distance, errant shots or favorable conditions could find these hazards, so maintain course management discipline.

green

Target the center of this substantial 4,247 square foot green rather than attacking pins, as the generous putting surface provides ample room for two-putt pars.
