Strategy Tips

tee shot

This par 4 measures 396 yards with out-of-bounds running the entire right side of the fairway, so favor the left-center of the fairway off the tee to avoid penalty strokes.

tee shot

The fairway is 34 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, giving longer hitters a generous landing area if they can carry it past the bunker complex at 261.5 yards.

hazard warning

A fairway bunker sits at 261.5 yards, making it a realistic carry point for stronger players; shorter hitters should consider laying up to the 30-yard-wide fairway zone at 200 yards to stay short of trouble.

approach

Two greenside bunkers guard the approach at 377 and 388 yards, squeezing the entry into a small 3,682 sq ft green (27y x 21y)—precise iron play is essential to hold this tight target.

green

With a small green measuring only 27 by 21 yards, aim for the center to leave a manageable putt rather than attacking tucked pin positions near the bunkers at 377 and 388 yards.
