Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 offers a strategic decision off the tee. With the fairway measuring 42 yards wide at 200 yards, you have room to hit driver for distance, but consider the risk-reward as bunkers lurk at 238 and 237 yards from the tee.

hazard warning

Three bunkers positioned between 215-238 yards from the tee create a significant hazard zone. If hitting driver, ensure you can carry at least 240 yards to clear these obstacles, or lay up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble.

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 42 yards at the 200-yard mark to just 27 yards at 250 yards. This funnel effect means precision becomes critical for longer drives - consider club selection based on your accuracy with driver versus fairway woods.

approach

At only 290 yards total length, even a conservative 200-yard tee shot leaves just a 90-yard approach. This short iron opportunity should be seized - aim for the center of the compact 3,193 square foot green to avoid short-sided situations.

green

The green measures 22 by 25 yards, making it a relatively small target. With such a short approach shot available, focus on hitting the putting surface rather than attacking pins - the green's compact size means any part of it sets up a reasonable birdie putt.
