Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway pinches to just 18 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, making the tee shot on this 564-yard par 5 more demanding than the yardage suggests. Favor a controlled 3-wood or long iron to find this tight landing zone rather than driver if accuracy is a concern.

hazard warning

A fairway bunker sits at 366.3 yards from the tee, squarely in the layup zone for most players going for this hole in three. Plan your second shot to either carry this hazard or lay up short of it, using the wider 36-yard fairway corridor found at the 250-yard mark as your target.

approach

Two bunkers guard the approach at 504.4 and 532.2 yards, effectively bracketing the entry to the green on this three-shot par 5. Club selection on your third shot should account for clearing both hazards, favoring a slightly longer club to ensure you carry the nearer bunker at 504.4 yards.

green

This hole features a small green at just 3,857 square feet (32 by 22 yards), so precision on the approach is critical—there's little margin for error. Aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins tucked near the edges, especially with bunkers pinching the target from 504.4 to 532.2 yards out.

tee shot

Given the narrow 18-yard fairway at 200 yards widening to 36 yards by 250 yards, consider a strategic tee shot that lands in the 220-250 yard range to maximize fairway width while still setting up a manageable layup before the 366.3-yard bunker.
