Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 475-yard par 4 requires precise positioning off the tee. The fairway maintains a consistent 37 yards of width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, but palm trees guard the right corner of this dogleg left. Play a controlled draw or straight shot favoring the left side to avoid trouble and set up the best angle into the green.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers create a gauntlet in the landing zone between 282-319 yards from the tee. Longer hitters must either lay up short of 280 yards or carry all the way past 320 yards to find safe fairway. Consider club selection carefully based on your driving distance.

approach

The green measures 25 yards wide by 34 yards deep, creating a relatively compact target at 4,368 square feet. From 475 yards total length, most approach shots will be mid-to-long irons. The green's rectangular shape rewards precise distance control more than width, so focus on dialing in your yardage.

tee shot

With the fairway bunkers positioned beyond 280 yards, shorter hitters have an advantage with more room to work with in the primary landing zone. A 220-250 yard drive will leave you in the widest part of the fairway at 37 yards across, avoiding the bunker complex entirely.

green

The green's dimensions of 25 by 34 yards create different strategies depending on pin position. When the flag is in the back portion of the deeper dimension, you have more room for error with distance. Front pins on this 4,368 square foot green demand precise yardage control to avoid short-siding yourself.
