Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 543-yard par 5 offers a generous landing area with the fairway expanding from 58 yards wide at 200 yards to 79 yards wide at 250 yards. Longer hitters should aim for the 250-yard mark to take advantage of the extra 21 yards of fairway width and set up an optimal angle for the second shot.

approach

Plan your layup carefully as you approach the green complex. With the pin positioned at various locations on this 5,506 square foot green measuring 26 yards wide by 39 yards deep, leaving yourself a full wedge from 100-120 yards will give you the best angle and spin control for your third shot.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the approach and green area at 509.5, 527.3, and 546.6 yards from the tee. The bunker at 527.3 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits right in the prime landing zone for aggressive second shots on this 543-yard hole.

green

The large green complex (39 yards deep) rewards precise distance control on your approach shot. With such a deep putting surface, club selection is critical - being 10-15 yards short or long can leave you with a challenging two-putt from the wrong tier.

approach

For players laying up on their second shot, position yourself between 100-130 yards out to avoid the greenside bunkers. This distance range allows you to clear the bunker at 509.5 yards while staying well short of the more dangerous hazards at 527.3 and 546.6 yards.
