Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 449-yard par-4 demands precision off the tee with an extremely narrow fairway that measures only 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Consider laying up with a mid-iron to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into the tight corridor.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 275.7 yards from the tee create a significant hazard for aggressive drivers. If you typically drive 270+ yards, either throttle back to lay up short or ensure you can clear them completely to avoid a difficult sand shot.

approach

After a conservative tee shot to the 200-yard mark, you'll face a lengthy approach of approximately 249 yards to reach the center of this sizable green. Plan for a fairway wood or long iron, and aim for the center of the putting surface to avoid short-siding yourself.

green

The generous green measuring 5,293 square feet (29 yards by 36 yards) provides a large target for your approach shot. Use this size to your advantage by playing to the fat part of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions, especially given the long approach you'll likely face.

tee shot

With the landing zone starting immediately from the tee and fairway width remaining consistently narrow at 12 yards through the 250-yard mark, course management is crucial. Consider playing this as a three-shot hole with two conservative shots rather than gambling with driver off the tee.
