Target the generous landing area around 200 yards where the fairway measures 56 yards wide, providing ample room for your tee shot while staying short of the fairway bunkers positioned at 115.7 yards.
From a 200-yard tee shot, you'll face approximately 183 yards to the pin on this 383-yard par 4, making club selection critical to clear the greenside bunkers at 327.4 and 332.3 yards while finding the compact 4,846 square foot green.
Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 327.4 and 332.3 yards - these Tom Fazio-designed hazards demand precision on your approach to avoid the sandy trouble that defines this Pine Barrens layout.
The relatively small green measuring just 26 yards by 41 yards (4,846 sq ft) requires accurate approach shots, especially given the surrounding pine trees and bunkers that characterize this acclaimed Fazio design.
Consider laying up shorter than 200 yards if conditions are challenging, as the fairway actually widens to 80 yards at the 250-yard mark, but this longer carry brings additional risk on this strategic par 4.
This 383-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.
