The compact green measuring just 15 yards deep by 34 yards wide demands precise distance control. Club selection should prioritize landing softly in the correct section rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 343.7 yards are well beyond the green, but aggressive approaches that miss long will find trouble. The small green size makes distance control critical to avoid these back hazards.
