Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 440-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee. With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, accuracy is more important than distance. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to ensure you find the short grass.

approach

After a conservative tee shot to the 200-yard mark, you'll face approximately 240 yards to the pin. The compact green measures only 28 yards wide by 34 yards deep, making club selection and distance control critical for your approach shot.

hazard warning

Beware of bunkers positioned at 287 yards from the tee. If you're a long hitter attempting to reach this distance, ensure your ball flight is accurate as these hazards will penalize any wayward shots in the landing area.

green

The relatively small green at 4,900 square feet requires precise approach shots. With limited real estate to work with, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions, especially when the flag is near the edges.

tee shot

Given the extremely narrow fairway width of just 12 yards at your typical landing zones, consider playing this hole as a three-shot par 4. A controlled iron off the tee to 180-200 yards sets up a more manageable approach to the small target green.
