Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 476-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee as the fairway dramatically narrows to just 12 yards at the 200-yard mark. Consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of this pinch point and leave a manageable approach.

tee shot

For longer hitters willing to take on risk, the fairway opens up significantly to 42 yards wide at the 250-yard distance. A well-struck driver that carries 250+ yards will leave you in the widest part of the fairway with a shorter iron approach.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone between 432-447 yards from the tee, creating a gauntlet you must navigate. The bunkers at 432.6, 441.3, and 446.9 yards mean even well-positioned drives will face sand hazards on your approach shot.

approach

The relatively compact green measuring 4,479 square feet (29x32 yards) demands accuracy on your approach. Pete Dye's signature design likely features undulation and false fronts, so aim for the center of this moderately-sized target.

tee shot

With no designated landing zone marked from the tee, course management becomes critical on this lengthy 476-yard hole. Study the fairway contours and plan your strategy based on pin position and wind conditions rather than relying on standard yardage markers.
