Tough

Originally called Spanish Dagger, this hole features one of the most treacherous greens on the course with severe slopes and a false front that punishes anything short.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard landing zone where the fairway is at its narrowest point of 36 yards. This conservative approach leaves a manageable mid-iron into the green while avoiding trouble.

tee shot

Longer hitters can challenge the 250-yard carry where the fairway opens to 42 yards wide, but this aggressive line requires precise execution on this tree-lined hole.

approach

From 140-190 yards out, focus on hitting the center of the generous 7,907 square foot green rather than attacking pin positions, as the Chinese Fir trees frame any misses.

approach

The green's dimensions of 33 yards by 41 yards provide ample target area, so club up and swing smoothly to ensure you clear any front hazards and stay on the putting surface.
