Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 47 yards wide at 200 yards and expanding to 60 yards at 250 yards, favor a controlled tee shot that finds the optimal angle for your approach. The generous width allows you to position strategically rather than simply bombing driver.

approach

From 200+ yards out, you'll face a lengthy approach into a substantial green measuring 6,287 square feet (30y x 34y). Club up and focus on finding the correct tier or section of this large putting surface based on pin position.

tee shot

At 456 yards, this par-4 demands respect off the tee. The wider fairway at 250 yards (60 yards) rewards longer hitters who can carry their drive past the 200-yard mark where the fairway is more constrained at 47 yards wide.

green

The expansive green dimensions of 30 yards by 34 yards emphasize Rustic Canyon's bump-and-run philosophy. Consider running approach shots onto this large target rather than flying high spinning wedges, especially when the pin is accessible.

approach

With no identified bunkers protecting this hole, your primary concern is position and distance control into the 6,287 square foot green. The absence of sand hazards allows for more aggressive ground-game approaches that suit the course's strategic design.
