Position your tee shot carefully on this 458-yard par 4, aiming for the generous 68-yard wide fairway at the 200-yard mark. This sets up the ideal approach angle while avoiding the fairway bunker positioned at 210 yards.
The fairway dramatically narrows to just 46 yards at the 250-yard mark, making position crucial for longer hitters who can reach this distance. Consider laying back to the 200-yard area for a more comfortable approach shot.
Your approach shot faces a substantial target - the green measures 7,612 square feet (42 yards by 36 yards), providing a generous landing area for mid to long iron approaches from the fairway.
Be aware of the greenside bunker positioned at 379.9 yards from the tee. This hazard protects the approach and requires precise distance control on your second shot to avoid short-siding yourself.
A bunker sits very close to the green at 455.1 yards from the tee, likely protecting the back or sides of the putting surface. Factor this into your approach club selection to ensure proper distance control.
