Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 61 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on accuracy over distance. A controlled 3-wood or hybrid will keep you in the short grass while avoiding the bunker positioned at 192.7 yards from the tee.

approach

From a good tee shot, you'll have approximately 150-160 yards into a compact green measuring just 3,601 square feet. The green's narrow 23-yard width demands precision - club up and aim for the center to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 346 yards - just 13 yards past the pin on this 359-yard hole. Any approach shot that runs long will find sand, making up-and-down difficult on such a small putting surface.

approach

The green's dimensions of 23 yards wide by 35 yards deep create a challenging target. With the pin position, prioritize the correct distance over attacking pins - the shallow green depth means long putts are better than bunker shots.

tee shot

Longer hitters can challenge the bunker at 278.1 yards, but with only 2 yards of additional fairway width at 250 yards (63 yards total), the risk-reward doesn't favor aggressive play on this short par 4.
