This 412-yard par 3 demands precision off the tee - consider laying up to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest point of 36 yards to ensure you stay in play.
If going for the green in regulation, be aware that bunkers positioned at 397.4 yards guard the approach - club selection is critical to clear these hazards while still finding the putting surface.
The compact 4100 square foot green (21x35 yards) rewards accuracy over distance - focus on pin position and leave yourself below the hole for easier putting.
Avoid the temptation to attack pins near the bunkers at 397.4 yards - the narrow 24-yard fairway width at 250 yards makes recovery shots extremely challenging if you miss your target.
For longer hitters attempting to reach in regulation, the fairway dramatically narrows from 36 yards at 200 to just 24 yards at 250 - precision becomes even more critical the further you hit.
This 412-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
