Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway widening from 29 yards at 200 yards to 36 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters have more room to work with on aggressive drives. However, in typical Seaside wind conditions, consider laying back to the 200-yard mark for better control and positioning.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 334, 392, and 394 yards from the tee. The bunker at 334 yards is particularly dangerous for moderate hitters, while the greenside bunkers at 392-394 yards will catch aggressive approach shots that come up short.

approach

From 415 yards total length, most players will face a mid-to-short iron approach. Factor in Seaside's notorious wind - what might normally be a comfortable 7-iron could require a 5-iron into the prevailing coastal breeze.

green

The relatively compact green measures just 27 yards by 27 yards (4,511 sq ft), demanding precise approach shots. In windy conditions, aim for the center of this smaller target rather than attacking pins near the edges.

tee shot

With no defined landing zone marked and bunkers starting at 334 yards, focus on finding the fairway anywhere between 200-280 yards. This gives you the best angle into the small green while avoiding the approach bunkers.
