Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically on this manageable par 4 - the fairway maintains a generous 50-yard width at the 200-yard mark, giving you plenty of room to find the short grass with a controlled driver or 3-wood.

green

The green measures 25 yards by 34 yards, making it relatively narrow - pay attention to pin position and aim for the center of the green to avoid short-siding yourself on this compact target.
