Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 374-yard par 4 requires precise course management as there's no traditional fairway landing area - you'll need to carefully position your tee shot to avoid the hazards and set up the best angle for your approach.

approach

With the green measuring just 3,034 square feet (14 yards wide by 33 yards deep), precision is paramount on your approach shot - this compact target demands accurate distance control and proper club selection.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 375.4 yards create a strategic challenge that extends just beyond the hole's length - while not directly in play for most shots, they influence the hole's design and require careful navigation around the green complex.

green

The narrow 14-yard width of the green makes lateral accuracy crucial - favor the center of this elongated target and avoid aggressive pin-hunting unless you're confident in your distance control.

approach

At 374 yards total length, most players will face a mid-to-short iron approach shot after a well-positioned drive - use this shorter approach distance to be aggressive with your accuracy rather than distance.
