Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 494-yard par 5 offers an aggressive risk-reward opportunity off the tee. With the fairway expanding dramatically from 43 yards wide at 200 yards to 80 yards wide at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the generous landing area by carrying their drive past the 200-yard squeeze point.

approach

Beware of the strategically placed bunker at 269 yards from the tee - this hazard sits perfectly in the prime landing zone for aggressive tee shots. Plan your strategy accordingly: either lay up short of this bunker or ensure you have enough distance to clear it comfortably.

approach

The approach shot requires precision to a moderately-sized green measuring 6,444 square feet (32 yards by 34 yards). This compact target demands accuracy, especially if you're going for the green in two on this reachable par 5.

hazard warning

green

The relatively square green dimensions (32x34 yards) suggest uniform pin positions, so focus on finding the correct tier or section of the green rather than just hitting the putting surface.
