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.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker positioned at 249.5 yards from the tee - this hazard sits right in the landing zone for longer hitters, so consider laying back with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble.

approach

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.

approach

Be aware of the greenside bunker at 329.6 yards - this hazard protects the putting surface and demands a precise approach shot to avoid a difficult up-and-down.
