Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area maintains good width at 50 yards at the 200-yard mark, giving you room for error while setting up your approach.

tee shot

For longer hitters, the fairway actually widens slightly to 52 yards at the 250-yard mark, so don't be afraid to take driver if you can carry it 250+ yards safely.

approach

With the green measuring a generous 19,416 square feet (47 yards by 69 yards), you have a large target for your approach shot - focus on distance control rather than pinpoint accuracy.

hazard warning

Be aware of greenside bunkers positioned at 440.8, 445.6, and 450.4 yards from the tee - these guard the green area and will catch approach shots that come up short or drift offline.
