With the fairway measuring 62 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on accuracy over distance off the tee. A controlled drive to the 200-yard area sets up the ideal approach angle while avoiding the fairway's narrowing at 250 yards where it tightens to just 60 yards wide.
Avoid the aggressive play beyond 244 yards where bunkers come into play. At this Pete Dye design, strategic positioning in the 200-220 yard range leaves a manageable mid-iron approach while staying clear of trouble.
From the ideal driving distance of 200-220 yards, you'll have 196-216 yards remaining to a compact green measuring just 3,795 square feet. Club up and focus on the center of this relatively small target - precision is paramount on Pete Dye greens.
The green's dimensions of 28 yards deep by 24 yards wide create a narrow target for approach shots. With typical Pete Dye bunkering and potential water hazards, aim for the fat part of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions.
This 416-yard par 4 demands respect typical of Pete Dye's Stadium Course design. The combination of bunkers at 244 yards and a compact green means course management trumps aggressive play - stay patient and play to your strengths.
This 416-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
