Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this legendary Robert Trent Jones design. With the fairway measuring 50 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, most golfers can confidently hit driver, but accuracy becomes paramount as you approach your approach distance.

approach

The fairway dramatically tightens to just 41 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, creating a funnel effect into the green. This narrowing demands precise club selection - if you're hitting from this distance, focus on accuracy over distance to avoid the squeeze.

approach

Plan your approach to this compact 4,028 square foot green carefully. The putting surface measures only 17 yards deep, making distance control absolutely critical - one club too much and you're in trouble behind this well-fortified green.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 338 yards from the tee. While most approach shots won't reach this distance, longer hitters who get aggressive off the tee need to account for this hazard in their strategy.

green

The green's narrow 17-yard depth combined with its 58-yard width creates a target that heavily favors accuracy over power. Focus on hitting to the correct section of this rectangular green rather than just finding the putting surface.
