Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the left side of the fairway on this 416-yard dogleg left par 4. The fairway widens from 39 yards at 200 yards to 46 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with while avoiding the grove of Torrey Pines on the right.

hazard warning

Avoid the right side at all costs - a miss into the Torrey Pine grove leaves you with a blind and extremely difficult approach shot. The trees make recovery nearly impossible and will likely cost you a stroke.

approach

A well-positioned tee shot leaves approximately 166-216 yards to a compact green measuring just 24 by 33 yards. The bunkers positioned at 402 yards guard the green entrance, making precise distance control essential for your approach.

green

With only 4,823 square feet of putting surface, this green offers little margin for error. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the compact target makes precision more important than aggression.

approach

The greenside bunkers at 402 yards create a narrow entrance to the putting surface. Plan your approach to carry these hazards while accounting for the small target - club up if needed to ensure you clear the sand.
