Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the generous landing area around 200-230 yards where the fairway opens up to 42 yards wide at 200y and expands to 62 yards wide at 250y, giving you plenty of room to work with off the tee.

hazard warning

Avoid the early bunker positioned at 102.6 yards from the tee - this catch bunker can snare shorter drives or mishit shots, so ensure you carry at least 110-120 yards to clear this hazard safely.

approach

With bunkers flanking the green at 385.2 and 396.4 yards, your approach shot into this compact 5,445 square foot green (29y x 33y) requires precision - favor the center of the green to avoid these greenside hazards.

tee shot

At 424 yards, this signature hole rewards strategic positioning - consider laying back to the 220-240 yard range where the fairway is widest at 62 yards, leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach rather than forcing a driver.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 29 by 33 yards demand accurate approach shots - with the Pine Valley-inspired design, missing this target will likely result in challenging recovery shots from the surrounding pine forest.
