Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 404-yard par 4, as the fairway remains consistently narrow at just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, demanding precision over distance.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 260 yards create a significant risk for longer hitters - consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble while maintaining good position for your approach.

approach

From a well-positioned drive around 200-220 yards, you'll face a mid-iron approach of 180-200 yards to a moderately-sized green measuring 26 yards deep by 24 yards wide.

green

The green's 3,987 square feet provides a decent target size, but precise distance control is crucial - aim for the center of the green to avoid short-siding yourself on this par 4.

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining the same 12-yard width from 200 to 250 yards, focus on accuracy rather than maximum distance - a controlled 200-220 yard drive sets up the ideal approach angle.
