Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a tee shot around 200 yards to find the widest part of the fairway, which offers 35 yards of room. This conservative approach leaves you with a manageable mid-iron approach while avoiding the narrower 32-yard landing zone at 250 yards.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 285 yards from the tee. Longer hitters who attempt to drive past the 250-yard mark risk finding this hazard, making course management crucial off the tee.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll face approximately a 226-yard approach to this 426-yard par 4. Plan for a long iron or hybrid to attack the generous 4,853 square foot green.

green

Take advantage of the large putting surface measuring 32 yards by 26 yards. This substantial green rewards aggressive approach shots, especially when pin positions allow for running the ball onto the putting surface.

hazard warning

Two greenside bunkers positioned at 403.8 and 402.0 yards guard the putting surface. These hazards are strategically placed to catch slightly mishit approach shots, so ensure clean contact on your second shot.
