Strategy Tips

tee shot

This demanding 240-yard par 3 requires a precise long iron or hybrid to carry the wildflowers and reach the green. With no fairway landing area available, you must fly your ball directly to the target - there's no room for a layup strategy.

hazard warning

The green is heavily defended by 6 bunkers positioned at strategic distances of 257.9, 223.5, and 229.7 yards from the tee. These sand traps guard both the front and sides of the green, making accuracy absolutely paramount on your tee shot.

green

Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 35 yards by 31 yards (5,194 sq ft). With bunkers surrounding the putting surface, aiming for the middle gives you the best margin for error and avoids the penalty of sand play.

approach

Club selection is critical on this all-carry hole. Most players will need a 4-iron to 6-iron depending on conditions and pin position. Take one extra club if the pin is tucked behind front bunkers, as coming up short means certain trouble.

tee shot

With the fairway width dropping to 0 yards at 250 yards, this hole demands aerial precision. Check wind conditions carefully and commit fully to your club selection - indecision on this forced carry will lead to penalty strokes.
