Club Recommendations
For low handicappers, the key to success on this hole is distance off the tee. With a drive of 280+ yards, you should have no problem reaching the green in regulation and setting yourself up for a birdie opportunity. However, be cautious of any altitude or wind conditions that may affect your ball flight. The wide fairway allows some room for error, but avoid the five bunkers scattered throughout the fairway and approach shots.
Mid-handicappers should also aim for distance off the tee, with an average drive of 230+ yards. This will leave you with a shorter approach shot to the green and increase your chances of scoring well on this par 4 hole. Keep in mind any changes in altitude or temperature that may impact your club selection.
High handicappers should focus on accuracy rather than distance on this hole. With an average drive of 200+ yards, it's important to find the fairway and avoid any trouble such as water hazards or bunkers. Use a conservative club choice off the tee if necessary and aim for positioning rather than power.
Regardless of handicap level, take advantage of this relatively easy hole by aiming towards the slight dogleg right and avoiding any potential trouble spots such as bunkers or rough areas near the green. With only 2% bunker coverage on this large green area, there is plenty of space to land your approach shot safely before attempting to make a putt for birdie or par.
