Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 47 yards at 200 yards to 51 yards at 250 yards. This gives you more room to work with if you can carry your drive past the 200-yard mark.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunker complex positioned at 396.6, 402.8, and 434.6 yards from the tee. These bunkers guard the approach zone and require precise distance control on your second shot.

approach

From 250 yards out, you'll face a challenging approach shot of approximately 205 yards to this par 4. Club selection is critical given the bunkers surrounding the green area - consider taking one more club to ensure you clear the front hazards.

green

The green measures 26 yards by 31 yards (4,888 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target. With bunkers positioned around 400+ yards, focus on hitting the center of this rectangular green rather than attacking pins near the edges.

tee shot

With no forced carry from the tee (landing zone at 0 yards), you have flexibility in your tee shot strategy. Consider hitting a controlled fade or draw to position yourself optimally in the wider portion of the fairway at 250 yards for the best approach angle.
