Strategy Tips

tee shot

Exercise extreme caution off the tee - the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making driver a risky play that could find trouble beyond the landing area.

tee shot

Target your tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - use a controlled mid-iron or hybrid to ensure you stay in the short grass.

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 229.9 yards - if you're tempted to hit driver, these sand traps are perfectly placed to catch aggressive tee shots.

approach

From the 200-yard layup position, you'll have approximately 188 yards into a generous green measuring 5,550 square feet - a perfect mid-iron distance for most players.

green

The green's dimensions of 33 by 28 yards provide a reasonable target, but club selection is critical from your longer approach shot after the conservative tee shot strategy.
