Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 422-yard par 4 demands a strategic tee shot. The fairway offers a generous 38 yards of width at the 200-yard mark, but be mindful of the bunker positioned at 244 yards—favor the side of the fairway away from this hazard to set up the best angle into the green.

hazard warning

Two bunkers guard the landing area and approach zone at 363.9 and 399.2 yards. Longer hitters should account for these hazards when club selection off the tee, as they can catch shots that drift too far down the fairway.

approach

With the fairway widening slightly to 39 yards at the 250-yard mark, players who can position their tee shot in this zone gain a more comfortable approach angle into the green, avoiding the bunker cluster near 363.9 yards.

green

The green is classified as small at just 4,025 square feet (24 yards by 29 yards), meaning precision is paramount on the approach. Take an extra club if needed to ensure you're hitting into the correct portion of this compact target rather than short-siding yourself.
