At 432 yards, this is TPC Deere Run's longest par 4 and demands precision off the tee. Target the center of the fairway which maintains 44 yards of width at the 200-yard mark, giving you the best angle for your approach through the trees.
For longer hitters reaching the 250-yard area, be aware the fairway narrows to just 40 yards wide. Consider laying back to the 200-yard zone for a safer, wider landing area rather than risking the rough on this demanding hole.
Your approach shot must navigate through trees to reach a relatively small green of only 6,416 square feet. Club selection is critical - favor the center of this 50-yard long, 25-yard wide target rather than attacking pins.
Three strategic bunkers guard the approach at 400, 417, and 439 yards from the tee. The bunker at 439 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits just short of the green, so ensure you have enough club to clear it.
With the green measuring just 25 yards wide, precision is paramount on your approach. The compact target requires committed club selection and favors players who can control distance rather than those who rely purely on power.
This 432-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
