Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically in the 200-250 yard range where the fairway opens up from 36 to 43 yards wide. This gives you the best angle and room for error on this demanding par 4.

hazard warning

Avoid the fairway bunker at 202 yards - it sits right in the prime landing zone and will leave you with a difficult recovery shot on this 430-yard challenge.

approach

Factor in the compact 4,982 square foot green (26x35 yards) when selecting your approach club. The green's modest size demands precision, especially given Copperhead's reputation for subtle yet dangerous putting surfaces.

tee shot

Longer hitters should be cautious of the bunkers at 254 and 276 yards - these hazards can catch aggressive drives and leave you short-sided on this demanding par 4.

green

With the green measuring just 26 by 35 yards, focus on hitting to the center of the putting surface rather than attacking pins. This conservative approach is key to scoring well in 'The Snake Pit' finishing stretch.
