This long par 4 demands distance off the tee — the right driver matters.
Shop Drivers →Strategy Tips
Focus on accuracy over distance on this 453-yard par 4. The fairway widens significantly from 50 yards at the 200-yard mark to 57 yards at 250 yards, so laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to the 200-230 yard range gives you the most room for error while still leaving a manageable approach.
Beware of the bunker complex positioned at 242 yards from the tee. Driver users need to carry this hazard or play conservatively short of it. The additional bunkers at 65.6 and 215.3 yards create a strategic gauntlet that rewards precise placement over raw power.
With the green measuring 34 yards by 39 yards and covering 7,782 square feet, you have a generous target for your approach shot. This Tom Fazio design rewards strategic tee shots that set up favorable approach angles into this substantial green complex.
Consider the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of this Pine Barrens layout when selecting your tee club. The 7-yard difference in fairway width between 200 and 250 yards (50y vs 57y) suggests the hole opens up slightly for longer hitters, but accuracy remains paramount on this strategic Fazio design.
The large green dimensions of 34 by 39 yards provide multiple pin positions and require careful attention to approach shot placement. Study the pin sheet to determine which section of this 7,782 square foot green offers the best birdie opportunities while avoiding potential trouble areas.
This 453-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
