Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the wider landing area at 250 yards where the fairway opens to 42 yards wide, giving you more margin for error than the tighter 37-yard corridor at 200 yards

approach

From 389 yards, most players will face a mid-to-short iron approach into this compact green measuring just 25 by 24 yards - precision is crucial over distance

green

With only 3,584 square feet of putting surface, this green offers minimal room for error - aim for the center and accept longer putts rather than risk missing the target entirely

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 357.9 yards - while most drives won't reach them, longer hitters or downwind conditions could bring them into play

As part of Pete Dye's famously difficult finishing stretch, conservative positioning off the tee is key - favor accuracy over distance to set up the best angle to this small target
