Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically widens from 14 yards at the 200-yard mark to 43 yards at 250 yards, so prioritize accuracy over distance on your tee shot. Aim for the center-left of the fairway to set up the best angle for navigating this famous double-dogleg.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 256 and 292 yards, your second shot placement is critical in this three-shot strategy hole. Lay up to around 100-120 yards from the green to avoid the hazards and give yourself a full wedge into the two-tiered putting surface.

approach

The green measures only 4,311 square feet (33x28 yards), making it a relatively small target for your third shot. Club selection and distance control are paramount, as short shots will roll back off this two-tiered green.
