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

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
