Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway remains consistently narrow at just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, demanding precision off the tee. Consider a fairway wood or long iron to ensure accuracy over distance.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 184 yards from the tee create a significant hazard in the prime landing area. Lay up short of this distance or carry them completely with a confident strike.

approach

After navigating the narrow fairway and bunkers, you'll face an approach shot from roughly 220 yards to a moderately-sized green. The 5,368 square foot putting surface provides a reasonable target for mid-to-long irons.

green

The green's rectangular shape (22 yards wide by 38 yards deep) favors approaches that play to the center. With its generous depth, focus on accurate distance control rather than pin-hunting on this 403-yard par 4.

tee shot

At 403 yards total length with bunkers at 184 yards, a strategic tee shot of 175-180 yards leaves you short of trouble while setting up a manageable approach of 220-225 yards to the pin.
