Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest at 24 yards - this gives you the best angle and room for error before the dramatic narrowing ahead.

hazard warning

Beware the severe fairway pinch at 250 yards where it narrows to just 12 yards wide - anything longer than a 200-yard drive requires pinpoint accuracy.

tee shot

Consider laying up with a hybrid or long iron to the 200-yard zone to avoid the bunkers at 204 yards and set up a manageable approach of around 140 yards.
