Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee to a 200-yard target where the fairway maintains a comfortable 36-yard width, giving you plenty of room to find the short grass and set up your approach.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive driver line - bunkers positioned at 258 yards will catch longer drives, making position more important than distance on this 433-yard par 4.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll have approximately 230 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 40 yards deep by 23 yards wide - favor the center of this large target.

green

Take advantage of the substantial 5,221 square foot putting surface by aiming for the middle of the green rather than attacking pins - the large target rewards accuracy over aggression.

tee shot

Since the fairway maintains the same 36-yard width at both 200 and 250 yards, focus on accuracy rather than maximum distance - a well-positioned shorter drive sets up a manageable approach to this long par 4.
