Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 64 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on accuracy over distance off the tee. A controlled drive to the 200-yard zone leaves you well-positioned for your approach while avoiding the bunkers that guard the landing area.

approach

The green measures just 3,344 square feet (22y x 30y), making it a relatively small target for your approach shot. Club selection and precision are critical - favor the center of the green rather than attacking pins near the edges.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers positioned at 311.9, 331.7, and 377.7 yards create a gauntlet around the green complex. These Greg Norman-designed hazards demand careful approach shot planning, especially the bunker at 377.7 yards which likely protects the back of the green.

approach

At 400 yards for this par 4, most players will face a mid-to-short iron approach after a good drive. The compact green dimensions (22y x 30y) reward accurate iron play - consider taking one more club and swinging smoothly for better distance control.

tee shot

The fairway tightens slightly from 64 yards at 200 yards to 59 yards at 250 yards, but longer hitters should still be aggressive. The 5-yard narrowing is minimal, so don't sacrifice distance for an overly conservative play.
