Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 at 298 yards presents a strategic decision off the tee. Consider laying up with a mid-iron to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 12 yards wide, leaving a comfortable wedge approach rather than risking driver into trouble.

approach

The green measures 32 yards by 27 yards (4,583 sq ft), providing a generous target for your approach shot. From a 200-yard layup position, you'll have roughly a 100-yard wedge shot to a sizeable green.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 278 yards create significant risk for aggressive tee shots. These traps are only 20 yards short of the green, meaning a mishit driver could easily find sand with little benefit over a conservative play.
