Strategy Tips

tee shot

This downhill par-4 plays shorter than its 414-yard length suggests. With the fairway widening from 58 yards at the 200-yard mark to 65 yards at 250 yards, favor accuracy over distance off the tee to avoid the bunkers positioned at 289.7 and 393.3 yards.

approach

The signature island green measures just 36 yards by 29 yards (4,536 sq ft), making club selection and accuracy paramount. Factor in the downhill lie for your approach shot and consider taking one less club than the yardage suggests.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 414.1 yards - just behind the green. Any approach shot that carries too far will find this hazard, making recovery difficult on this island green setting.

tee shot

The generous fairway width of 58 yards at the 200-yard landing area allows for strategic positioning. Aim for the center-left portion to set up the best angle to the island green while avoiding the fairway bunker at 289.7 yards.

green

With the green measuring only 29 yards in depth, precision is critical on your approach. The island setting means any miss will likely find water, so err on the side of the front portion of the green rather than risk going long.
