tee shot

At 376 yards, this par-4 rewards strategic positioning over pure distance. The fairway widens slightly to 30 yards at the 250-yard mark, so longer hitters can be more aggressive if they can carry their drive to this area.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 366.7 yards from the tee. While most players won't reach it off the tee, aggressive drivers or those playing downwind should factor this into their club selection strategy.
