Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 at 296 yards presents a strategic decision - aggressive drivers can reach the green, but must navigate three bunkers clustered between 190-205 yards. Consider laying up to avoid the hazard complex.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the optimal landing zone at 190.4, 194.4, and 205.1 yards from the tee. Plan your tee shot to either lay up short of 190 yards or carry past 210 yards to avoid these traps.

tee shot

The fairway maintains good width at 62 yards at the 200-yard mark and 58 yards at 250 yards, providing ample room for placement shots if you choose the conservative approach over the bunkers.

approach

If going for the green in two, you'll face a large target measuring 23 yards wide by 39 yards deep (5,928 sq ft total), making it a reasonable risk for longer hitters who can carry the bunker complex.

green

The generous green dimensions of 23 by 39 yards reward accurate approach shots, but with such a large putting surface, focus on getting your approach to the correct tier or section to avoid lengthy putts.
