This hole demands precision over distance - the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making driver a risky play. Consider a 3-wood or long iron to stay in the 12-yard wide fairway at 200 yards.
With bunkers positioned at 258 yards, a conservative tee shot to 200 yards leaves you with a manageable 188-yard approach to a reasonably sized green measuring 19x27 yards.
The extremely narrow 12-yard fairway at 200 yards requires pinpoint accuracy - aim for the center of the fairway and accept that you'll have a longer approach shot rather than risk the rough or hazards.
The green's 3,047 square foot surface provides a decent target for your approach, but with such a precise tee shot required, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins.
At 388 yards, this par-4 punishes aggressive play - the combination of zero fairway width at 250 yards and bunkers at 258 yards creates a significant penalty zone for longer drives.
This 388-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.
