Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot around the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest point of 49 yards, giving you maximum margin for error and the best angle into the green.

hazard warning

Avoid going for maximum distance off the tee - bunkers positioned at 249 yards will catch aggressive drives, and the fairway dramatically narrows to just 24 yards at the 250-yard mark.

approach

From a well-positioned drive at 200 yards, you'll have approximately 169 yards into a generous green measuring 25 yards wide by 40 yards deep (5,007 sq ft total).

tee shot

Club down to a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee to ensure you stay in the 49-yard wide portion of fairway at 200 yards rather than risk the narrow 24-yard corridor at 250 yards.

green

The large green dimensions (25x40 yards) provide a forgiving target for your approach shot, so focus on finding the correct tier rather than attacking pins close to trouble.
