Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 511-yard par 5 offers excellent scoring opportunities with proper positioning. The fairway widens significantly as you get closer to the green, expanding from 42 yards at the 200-yard mark to a generous 53 yards at 250 yards. Plan your tee shot to leave yourself in the wider portion of the fairway for maximum flexibility on your second shot.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 239.5 yards from the tee, longer hitters need to be strategic about their second shot club selection. If you've driven it well past 250 yards, you'll have a clear approach to the green, but shorter drives may require laying up short of the bunkers or carrying them entirely.

green

The green measures 26 yards by 22 yards (3,707 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target for your approach shots. This gives you a reasonable margin for error, but precise distance control will be key to setting up birdie opportunities on this reachable par 5.

tee shot

At 511 yards, this par 5 is very reachable in two shots for most golfers. Focus on finding the fairway with your tee shot rather than maximum distance - the fairway width of 42 yards at 200 yards provides a solid target, and you'll still have plenty of length left for your approach.
