Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring 66 yards wide at 200 yards, focus on accuracy over distance off the tee. A controlled drive to the 200-yard mark sets up the best angle for your approach to this demanding par 4.

approach

The green measures just 39 yards by 30 yards (5,272 sq ft), making it one of the smaller targets you'll face. Club selection and precision are critical - this compact green leaves little room for error on your approach shot.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green complex at 357, 375, and 377 yards from the tee. These strategically placed hazards create a narrow corridor for approach shots, demanding precise distance control and club selection.

approach

At 433 yards, this lengthy par 4 typically requires a mid-to-long iron approach shot after a good drive. The combination of distance and the small green (39x30 yards) makes this one of the most challenging scoring opportunities on the course.

tee shot

Consider laying back to the 200-yard area where the fairway is 66 yards wide, rather than trying to bomb it to the 250-yard mark where it's only slightly wider at 71 yards. The extra 5 yards of width isn't worth the risk given the demanding approach ahead.
