Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway narrows significantly from 45 yards wide at 200 yards to just 35 yards wide at 250 yards, making distance control crucial off the tee. A well-positioned drive at the 200-yard mark leaves the optimal angle into this compact green.

approach

With the green measuring only 2,993 square feet (24y x 22y), precision is paramount on your approach shot. This relatively small target demands accurate club selection and commitment to your line, especially from longer approach distances.

hazard warning

Three bunkers positioned at 382.5, 383.7, and 413.5 yards guard the green complex. From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll face a challenging approach of nearly 200 yards with these greenside bunkers in play - consider laying up short of trouble if conditions are difficult.

tee shot

At 397 yards total length, this hole rewards strategic positioning over maximum distance. A controlled drive to the 200-yard mark keeps you in the wider portion of the fairway while leaving a manageable approach to the well-protected green.

green
