Detailed Strategy Tips
Position your tee shot carefully around the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest at 170 yards, giving you maximum margin for error before the dramatic narrowing ahead.
Avoid aggressive second shots beyond 250 yards from the tee, as the fairway pinches to just 12 yards wide - creating an extremely narrow target that demands precision over distance.
Plan your layup to avoid the bunkers positioned at 286.8 yards from the tee, leaving yourself a comfortable wedge distance to the pin rather than risking a difficult bunker recovery.
Target the center of this generous 7,315 square foot green (44 yards deep by 26 yards wide) to ensure you're putting for birdie rather than scrambling from short-sided positions.
On this 513-yard par 5, most golfers should play conservatively for position rather than distance, as the hole's design rewards strategic placement over raw power.
