Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway widening from 43 yards at 200 yards to 59 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can be aggressive off the tee. The extra 16 yards of width in the landing zone rewards distance while maintaining good position for your approach.

approach

At just 345 yards total length, most players will have a short iron into this compact 3,966 square foot green. The relatively small target (25 yards by 30 yards) demands precision over power on your approach shot.

tee shot

Conservative players should aim for the 200-yard marker where the fairway is 43 yards wide, leaving a comfortable wedge or 9-iron into the green from 145 yards out.

green

The green's modest dimensions of 25 by 30 yards make club selection critical - being above the hole on this compact putting surface will create challenging downhill putts, so err on the side of being below the pin.

approach

With no bunkers protecting this short par 4, the primary defense is the small green size. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the 3,966 square foot target leaves little margin for error.
