With the fairway measuring a generous 80 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, you have plenty of room to find the short grass. Focus on position over power - a controlled drive with a 3-wood or hybrid will leave you in perfect position for your approach.
At only 336 yards total, most golfers will have a short iron into this compact green measuring just 26 yards by 21 yards. The small target demands precision - club up and swing smooth to ensure you stay on the putting surface.
Be aware of the bunker positioned at 233.9 yards from the tee. This hazard sits right in the landing zone for longer hitters, making course management crucial - consider laying back to avoid trouble.
The green's modest size of 3,163 square feet means there's little margin for error on your approach. Study the pin position carefully and aim for the center of the green to avoid short-siding yourself.
With a bunker also positioned at 296.4 yards, aggressive drivers risk finding sand even on this short par 4. The strategic play is to lay up short of trouble, leaving yourself a comfortable wedge distance to the pin.
This 336-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.
