Strategy Tips

tee shot

On this demanding par 5 at the legendary Dubsdread course, your tee shot must navigate a strategic challenge - the fairway is only 30 yards wide at the 200-yard mark before opening up significantly to 56 yards wide at 250 yards. Lay up short of 200 yards for safety, or bomb it past 250 yards to find the generous landing area.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard this 523-yard test, with the most dangerous positioned at 315 yards from the tee. This bunker sits perfectly in the aggressive driving zone and will catch players trying to get home in two. Factor this into your layup strategy on your second shot.

approach

The greenside bunkers at 507 and 454 yards create a narrow corridor for your approach shot on this par 5. Given the total length of 523 yards, most players will face a delicate third shot between these hazards to a relatively small target.

green

The putting surface measures just 4,566 square feet (33 yards by 24 yards), making it a challenging target for approach shots on this par 5. This compact green demands precision, especially considering Cog Hill's reputation as a PGA Tour venue where accuracy is paramount.

tee shot

With no designated landing zone marked from the tee, this hole offers flexibility in your strategy. However, given the fairway's dramatic width change from 30 yards at 200 to 56 yards at 250, plan your tee shot distance carefully to avoid the squeeze point.
