Detailed Strategy Tips
The fairway measures 23 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, so favor a controlled tee shot (3-wood or long iron) that lands short of this point to maximize width and avoid running through into the tighter zone beyond.
A cluster of three bunkers guards the landing area between 386.7 and 407.1 yards, directly in play for longer hitters; players carrying the ball past 385 yards should club down off the tee or aim to work the ball away from this bunker complex.
With the hole playing 416 yards to a par-4, most approach shots will be mid-to-long irons; account for the bunker cluster at 397.6 yards when calculating layup distances to leave a clean look at the green.
The green is classified as small at just 3,143 square feet (20y x 28y), demanding precise iron play; missing the putting surface leaves little room for error, so prioritize accuracy over distance on the approach.
The final bunker in the sequence sits at 407.1 yards, just short of the green complex—long hitters should be cautious not to overshoot their layup into this hazard, which can complicate the angle into the small putting surface.
How to Play This Hole
Off the Tee
Off the tee at Hole 6, favor control over distance. The lake hugs the left side of the fairway, so take enough club to find the short grass rather than reaching for driver just to gain yardage—a well-struck 3-wood or long iron that stays right of center takes the water out of play and sets up a clean angle into the green. Avoid the temptation to hug the hazard for a shorter approach; a ball that leaks left here is gone for good.
Your approach shot needs to account for a green that's well protected by bunkers, particularly along the front and right. Take one more club than you think if you're between clubs, since coming up short into the bunkers or leaving yourself a long uphill putt is far more punishing than being slightly long. Aim for the center of the green on your approach rather than firing at a tucked pin—two-putt pars are the reward for smart play here.
Around the green, be mindful of the false edges and subtle slopes that can feed balls away from the hole if you're chipping from tight lies. Use a bump-and-run when possible to keep the ball low and let it release toward the hole, rather than a high, spinny shot that's harder to control under pressure.
Above all, respect the water left off the tee and the bunkering short and right of the green—those are the two spots that turn a routine par into a big number.
