Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 31 yards at the 200-yard mark to just 12 yards at 250 yards, making distance control crucial off the tee. In typical Seaside wind conditions, consider laying up to the 200-yard area to ensure you stay in the fairway rather than risking the narrow 250-yard zone.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 208, 280, and 395 yards from the tee. The bunker at 208 yards sits right in your ideal layup zone, so factor this into your tee shot strategy - you'll need precise placement to avoid it while staying short of the severe narrowing.

approach

From 399 yards total length, most approach shots will be from 150-200 yards to a generous 4,305 square foot green. However, Seaside's notorious wind can turn a comfortable 7-iron into a gripping 5-iron situation - club up and aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins.

green

The green measures 22 yards by 35 yards, providing a relatively large target for your approach shot. Use this generous size to your advantage in windy conditions - aim for the fat part of the green and let the wind work with you rather than fighting it by going directly at tucked pins.

tee shot

With the fairway width dropping from 31 to 12 yards between the 200 and 250-yard markers, accuracy trumps distance on this hole. Consider hitting a controlled fade or draw to the wider 200-yard section, leaving yourself a mid-iron approach rather than risking the penalty of missing the 12-yard target area.
