Shop Drivers →Strategy Tips
Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area maintains a consistent 12-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. This narrow corridor demands accuracy over distance.
Plan your approach to the compact green measuring just 22 yards by 27 yards. Club selection is critical - favor one club more to ensure you clear any front hazards and hold this small target.
Consider laying up short of driver distance if accuracy is a concern. The fairway width remains constant at 12 yards whether you hit 200 or 250 yards, so position trumps power on this hole.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 467 yards - essentially at the green complex. Any approach shot that runs long or right/left of the small green will likely find sand.
With only 3,679 square feet of green to work with, precision is paramount on your approach. This small target area leaves little margin for error - aim for the center and take your par.
This 467-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.
