Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 538-yard par 5 offers excellent scoring opportunities with strategic positioning. Focus on finding the fairway center at the 200-yard mark where you have a generous 30-yard landing area. A well-struck driver or 3-wood will set up an ideal approach angle.

approach

Be aware that the fairway significantly tightens as you advance - it narrows to just 24 yards at the 250-yard mark. If going for distance off the tee, precision becomes critical to avoid trouble and maintain a clear line to the green.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 221.7 yards from the tee create a strategic decision point. Longer hitters should consider club selection carefully - a controlled shot just short of this hazard zone keeps you in the wide part of the fairway.

green

The green measures 21 yards by 32 yards (3,315 square feet), providing a reasonably sized target for your approach. With the green's rectangular shape, pin position will dictate whether to favor length or width in your approach strategy.
