Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a 200-yard tee shot to the widest part of the fairway, which measures only 24 yards wide at this distance. This conservative approach leaves a manageable 208-yard approach while avoiding the narrower 36-yard corridor at 250 yards.

tee shot

Longer hitters can challenge the 250-yard carry to reach the wider 36-yard fairway section, but must execute precisely as this still represents a relatively narrow target for maximum distance drives.

hazard warning

Avoid aggressive lines beyond 280 yards as bunkers positioned at 283.2 yards will penalize overly ambitious drives, particularly dangerous given the hole's 408-yard total length.

approach

Plan your approach to the compact 4,442 square foot green (29x27 yards) - this smaller target demands precise iron play, especially from longer approach distances if you lay back off the tee.

green

With green dimensions of just 29 by 27 yards, focus on center-green strategy rather than pin-hunting, as the limited real estate makes recovery from missed approaches particularly challenging.
