Strategy Tips

tee shot

Favor a club that leaves you short of the fairway bunker cluster at 247.9-270.5 yards; the fairway widens to 38 yards at the 250-yard mark, giving longer hitters a generous target if they can carry or lay up short of the sand.

tee shot

Shorter hitters should aim to land the ball around the 200-yard mark, where the fairway is 30 yards wide, providing a safe, straightforward landing zone before the bunkers come into play.

approach

With the hole playing only 381 yards, most players will have a mid-to-short iron into the green; club selection should account for the small green (4,094 sq ft, 24y x 29y) that demands precision to hold the putting surface.

hazard warning

Beware the bunker positioned at 377.5 yards, essentially guarding the front of the green—this hazard can catch approach shots that come up short, especially for players who overestimate their carry distance.

green

Given the green's small category and tight dimensions (24y x 29y), prioritize accuracy over distance on the approach—missing the putting surface, particularly short or to the sides, brings the surrounding bunkers into play.
