Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically between 200-250 yards to take advantage of the fairway's dramatic widening from 33 yards to 56 yards, giving you more room for error and a better angle into the green.

approach

From 250 yards out, you'll face a demanding long iron or hybrid approach to a compact 5,001 square foot green - focus on distance control rather than pin-hunting on this challenging finishing hole.

hazard warning

Two bunkers guard the green area at 404.8 and 409.3 yards - be aware these hazards come into play on aggressive approaches or mishit shots, especially critical in the infamous 'Snake Pit' finish.

green

The green measures just 26 yards by 36 yards, making it a small target for such a long par 4 - prioritize hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins to avoid the Snake Pit's notorious difficulty.

tee shot

At 475 yards, this par 4 demands a strong, accurate drive - the narrow 33-yard fairway at 200 yards means shorter hitters must prioritize accuracy over distance to stay in play.
