Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 480-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee as you must thread your drive between four bunkers positioned around the landing zone. The fairway is only 29 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, requiring accuracy over distance to set up your approach.

tee shot

If you can carry your drive 250 yards, the fairway opens up to 42 yards wide, giving you more margin for error. This extra width at 250 yards makes it worth taking an aggressive line if you have the distance.

approach

After navigating the tight fairway, you'll face a lengthy approach to a relatively small green measuring just 5,729 square feet. Club selection is critical as missing this compact target will leave you with a difficult recovery.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 477 and 474 yards from the tee - these guard the front and sides of the green. With the green being only 37 yards deep, precision is essential to avoid these hazards.

green

The green dimensions of 37 yards long by 28 yards wide make this a challenging target, especially given the 480-yard length. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the compact size leaves little room for error.
