Target the left-center of the fairway on your tee shot to set up the best angle to the green. The fairway widens significantly from 38 yards at the 200-yard mark to 46 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.
Plan your approach carefully to this compact green measuring just 33 yards by 24 yards. The small target demands precision, so take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 426.5 and 442.9 yards from the tee - these are greenside hazards that will catch any approach shots that carry too far or miss right of the putting surface.
For most golfers, a solid drive of 220-240 yards will leave an ideal approach distance while staying well short of the greenside bunkers. The fairway's 38-yard width at 200 yards provides adequate room for accuracy-focused tee shots.
With only 4,024 square feet of putting surface, this green rewards precise iron play. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the small target leaves little margin for error.
This 426-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.
