Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 465-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee with the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to find the narrow landing zone rather than risking driver.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 460 yards, you'll face a challenging approach shot to a moderately-sized green measuring 5374 square feet. Plan for a mid-to-long iron approach after a conservative tee shot.

hazard warning

Bunkers guard the green area at 460 yards from the tee, leaving minimal room for error on your approach. Any shot that carries beyond the green will likely find sand, making distance control crucial.

green

The green dimensions of 34 yards by 27 yards provide a reasonable target, but with hazards so close at 460 yards, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining its 12-yard width consistently from 200 to 250 yards, there's no strategic advantage to bombing driver - accuracy trumps distance on this demanding par 4.
