Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to carry approximately 200 yards to reach the widest part of the fairway, which measures 24 yards across at this distance, giving you the best angle and room for error.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive line past 250 yards where the fairway pinches down to just 12 yards wide - this severely limits your margin for error and increases the risk of finding trouble.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 274.8 yards from the tee - longer hitters who try to bomb their drive risk finding sand, so consider laying back with a controlled tee shot.

approach

With the green measuring 17 yards wide by 28 yards deep (2858 sq ft total), you have a moderately-sized target that rewards accuracy - aim for the center to avoid short-siding yourself.

tee shot
