Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot between 200-250 yards to avoid the bunker complex ahead. The fairway maintains a generous 59 yards width at 200 yards and 57 yards at 250 yards, giving you ample room to find the short grass while staying short of trouble.

hazard warning

Beware the strategic bunker placement at 237.6, 267.4, and 296.3 yards from the tee. Big hitters must throttle back or risk finding sand, as these hazards guard the ideal approach position for this 430-yard par 4.

approach

From the ideal layup position around 200-220 yards, you'll face a mid-iron approach to a compact 3,810 square foot green. The relatively small target (24 yards by 28 yards) demands precision over power on your second shot.

green

Target the center of this modest-sized green measuring 24 by 28 yards. With only 3,810 square feet of putting surface, there's little margin for error - focus on finding the dance floor rather than attacking pins.
