Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 at 328 yards offers a strategic decision off the tee. Consider laying up with a mid-iron to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 24 yards wide, leaving a comfortable wedge approach rather than risking the narrow 12-yard corridor at 250 yards with driver.

approach

From a conservative 200-yard tee shot, you'll have approximately 128 yards remaining to a compact green measuring just 3,002 square feet. This tight target rewards precision over power - focus on trajectory control and spin to hold this small putting surface.

tee shot

Aggressive players attempting to drive closer to the green face a significant challenge as the fairway pinches to only 12 yards wide at the 250-yard mark. This risk/reward scenario requires exceptional accuracy with driver.

green

The green's rectangular shape (34 yards long by 16 yards wide) creates different pin position challenges. When the flag is positioned in the narrow 16-yard width, precision becomes even more critical for approach shots.
