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

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.
