Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 226 yards, this par-3 requires a strong mid-to-long iron or hybrid. With no fairway landing area, you must carry your shot all the way to the green - there's no bailout option short.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker positioned at 193.5 yards - it sits directly in front of the green and will catch any shot that comes up just short of the target.

green

The compact 5,144 square foot green (33x33 yards) demands precision. With limited real estate, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

approach

Plan for the bunkers flanking the green at 157.7 and 238.0 yards. The front bunker at 157.7 yards is well short, but the back bunker at 238.0 yards will catch any shot that flies the green by 12 yards.
