Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway for your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 44 yards at the 200-yard mark to 48 yards at 250 yards. This gives longer hitters more room to work with while staying away from the bunker complex.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 243 yards from the tee - this hazard sits right in the landing zone for most golfers' drives. Consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble.

approach

Your approach shot will typically be from 100-125 yards to a compact green measuring just 4,043 square feet. The green's 20-yard width requires precise distance control - take one more club and swing easy for better accuracy.

green

With the green measuring only 20 yards wide by 32 yards deep, pin position becomes crucial on this compact target. Favor the center of the green regardless of pin placement to avoid short-sided situations.
