Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 526-yard par 5 offers a generous landing area for your tee shot, with the fairway expanding from 62 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to 79 yards wide at 250 yards. Favor the right side of the fairway to set up the best angle for your second shot approach.

approach

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 284.7 yards from the tee - this will come into play on aggressive second shots. Most players should lay up short of this hazard with a controlled iron or hybrid, leaving a manageable wedge distance to the green.

hazard warning

Two greenside bunkers guard the approach at 484.2 and 510.9 yards from the tee. These are positioned to catch both lay-up shots that run long and aggressive second shots that fall short of the green, requiring precise distance control on your approach.

green

The green measures a compact 2567 square feet (21 yards by 23 yards), making it a relatively small target for a par 5. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the tight dimensions leave little room for error on approach shots.

approach
