Strategy Tips

tee shot

Focus on accuracy over distance off the tee, as the fairway narrows significantly from 37 yards wide at 250 yards to just 28 yards wide at 200 yards - laying up to the 200-yard mark gives you the best angle and widest landing area for your second shot.

approach

Plan your layup carefully to avoid the bunker at 322.8 yards - this hazard sits right in the prime layup zone, so aim for the 280-300 yard range to leave yourself a comfortable wedge into the green.

approach

Your third shot will be critical on this 561-yard par 5 - with bunkers guarding the green at 478.6 and 534.3 yards, precision is key as you'll likely be hitting a short iron or wedge from around 100 yards out.

green

The compact green measures only 4,010 square feet (18x36 yards), making it a small target typical of Pete Dye's strategic design - focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, especially with the greenside bunkers at 534.3 yards protecting the approach.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 534.3 yards - this hazard is strategically placed to catch aggressive approach shots, so club down and play to the fat part of the green to avoid this Pete Dye signature feature.
