Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot between 200-250 yards to take advantage of the fairway's widest section. The fairway expands from 42 yards at the 200-yard mark to 52 yards at 250 yards, giving you more margin for error on this demanding Blue Monster hole.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker complex positioned at 278.5 and 294.7 yards from the tee. These hazards lurk just beyond the optimal landing zone and can catch aggressive drives, especially on this 551-yard par 5 where distance is tempting.

approach

Plan your second shot carefully around the greenside bunker at 430.5 yards. This hazard guards the approach to the relatively small 3,875 square foot green, requiring precision on your layup or go-for-it decision.

green

Target the center of this compact 28x24 yard green measuring just 3,875 square feet. The small target area demands accuracy, especially considering this is the legendary Blue Monster's 10th hole where precision trumps power.

approach

Consider laying up to 100-120 yards for your third shot rather than forcing a long approach to this 551-yard hole. The small green size of 3,875 square feet rewards controlled wedge play over risky long irons from difficult distances.
