This 438-yard par 4 rewards a controlled tee shot; aim to land your drive short of the 310.1y fairway bunker to avoid the first hazard cluster.
The fairway measures 42 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, giving longer hitters room to shape a draw or fade without penalty—favor the widest part of the landing zone.
Two bunkers guard the 367.7y and 391.9y range; players hitting driver should account for roll-out to stay short of these traps, especially into a headwind.
With the green classified as small (4,929 sq ft, 30y x 36y), precision trumps power on the approach—club down if needed to ensure a clean strike toward the center of the putting surface.
Given the green's tight 30-yard depth, approach shots should target the middle of the putting surface to reduce the risk of long or short misses that could result in tricky up-and-downs.
This 438-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
