Strategy Tips

tee shot

This lengthy par 4 demands accuracy off the tee. The fairway maintains a generous 66 yards of width at the 200-yard mark, giving you room to work with. Focus on finding the short grass rather than maximum distance - positioning is key on this 500-yard challenge.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the ideal landing zones. The most dangerous sits at 227.7 yards from the tee, right in the wheelhouse for many golfers' drives. A bunker at 258.7 yards catches aggressive tee shots, while another at 432.2 yards protects the green approach.

approach

After a solid drive, you'll face a demanding approach to a substantial green measuring 6,181 square feet. The green's 38-yard width gives you lateral room for error, but club selection is critical from this distance. Consider taking one more club to ensure you clear any front hazards.

tee shot

The fairway remains remarkably consistent in width, measuring 64 yards at the 250-yard mark - only 2 yards narrower than at 200 yards. This means longer hitters can still be aggressive without significantly increased penalty risk, making driver a viable option for those who can carry the 227-yard bunker.

green

The green's rectangular shape (38 yards wide by 30 yards deep) offers different strategic options depending on pin position. With water featured on 10 of Streamsong Red's 18 holes, be prepared for potential water hazards around this green complex that could influence your approach angle and club selection.
