Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to carry approximately 200 yards to reach the optimal landing area where the fairway is 36 yards wide, giving you the best angle for your approach shot.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 214.5 yards from the tee - a well-struck driver could easily reach these hazards, so consider club selection carefully based on your typical driving distance.

approach

From the ideal fairway position, you'll have roughly 150-180 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 24 yards wide by 30 yards deep, allowing for aggressive pin hunting with mid-irons.

green

The large 3,862 square foot green provides ample target area for approach shots, but focus on distance control as the 30-yard depth means club selection is critical to avoid long putts.

tee shot

At 387 yards total length, longer hitters may want to throttle back off the tee to stay short of the bunkers at 214.5 yards, leaving a comfortable approach distance rather than risking hazard trouble.
