Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par-4 presents a strategic decision off the tee. With the fairway widening dramatically from 36 yards at the 200-yard mark to 70 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the extra room by carrying their drive past the 200-yard bottleneck.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone and green area at 222.7, 296.4, and 312.6 yards from the tee. The bunker at 222.7 yards is particularly dangerous for conservative tee shots, while the greenside bunkers at 296.4 and 312.6 yards will catch aggressive drives or mishit approaches.

approach

At only 312 yards total length, this hole offers birdie opportunities for all skill levels. A conservative 200-yard tee shot leaves approximately 112 yards to a generous green measuring 7,241 square feet, providing plenty of target area for approach shots.

green

The large green dimensions of 34 yards by 46 yards create multiple pin positions and require careful attention to approach shot placement. With such a substantial putting surface, focus on getting your approach shot to the correct tier or section rather than just finding the green.

tee shot

Consider laying up to the 200-yard mark with a controlled iron or hybrid shot to avoid the fairway bottleneck and bunker at 222.7 yards. This conservative strategy leaves a comfortable wedge into the large green while eliminating most trouble.
