Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 80 yards of width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, focus on positioning over distance. The strategic play is finding the optimal angle for your approach rather than bombing it as far as possible down this 485-yard par 4.

hazard warning

Avoid the bunker positioned at 205 yards from the tee at all costs - it sits right in the prime landing zone for most golfers. Club down if necessary to stay short of this hazard and maintain a clear approach to the green.

approach

The massive 13,384 square foot green (36 yards by 62 yards) offers multiple pin positions and approach angles. Study the pin placement carefully and use the ground game - bump and run shots work exceptionally well on this expansive putting surface.

hazard warning

Absolutely avoid missing left of the green where a 10-foot drop awaits. With the green measuring 36 yards wide, you have plenty of room to bail out right if needed. A bogey from the right side beats a double or worse from the left.

If you've successfully navigated past the 205-yard bunker, be aware of the second bunker at 292 yards. From this distance, you'll have approximately 190+ yards into the green, making course management and club selection critical for this lengthy par 4.
