Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right portion of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway widens significantly from 36 yards at the 200-yard mark to 50 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

approach

Plan your approach carefully to this compact green measuring just 26 yards by 25 yards - precision is more important than power on this 434-yard par 4, as missing this small target will leave challenging recovery shots.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 294.5 yards from the tee - big hitters who carry their drive beyond 275 yards need to account for this hazard when selecting their tee shot strategy.

approach

With bunkers flanking the green at 432.2 and 413.3 yards from the tee, your approach shot will need to navigate these hazards while targeting a green that covers only 3,713 square feet - consider taking one more club to ensure you clear the front bunker.

tee shot

On this Rees Jones-redesigned hole that exemplifies the challenging new standards of South Florida golf, position your tee shot in the 200-250 yard range where the fairway is most generous, setting up the best angle into the tight green complex.
