Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 78 yards wide at 200 yards and expanding to 80 yards at 250 yards, this Coore & Crenshaw design rewards an aggressive tee shot. The fairway actually gets slightly wider as you get closer to the green, so don't be afraid to take driver and challenge the 250-yard mark for a shorter approach.

approach

At 447 yards, this par-4 will likely require a mid-to-long iron approach shot after a good drive. The green measures 24 yards wide by 36 yards deep, providing a generous target, but club selection is critical - take one extra club to ensure you clear any front hazards and give yourself the best angle to this sizable putting surface.

hazard warning

Three bunkers positioned at 410.6, 434.2, and 411.8 yards create a significant hazard zone around the green complex. These greenside bunkers are strategically placed to catch both short and slightly long approach shots, so precise distance control is essential on your second shot.

green

The large green at 5,411 square feet offers plenty of room for error, but with dimensions of 24 yards by 36 yards, pin position will greatly affect your approach strategy. The deep green (36 yards) means front and back pin positions will play significantly different - always check the pin sheet and adjust your target accordingly.
