Target a controlled drive to the 200-yard mark where the fairway maintains a comfortable 24-yard width, setting up an ideal approach distance of around 250 yards to the pin.
From 250 yards out, you'll face a long approach to a relatively small green measuring just 3,162 square feet - club up and prioritize accuracy over distance to find this compact target.
Beware of bunkers positioned at 438 yards - while they won't affect most tee shots, longer hitters who bomb drives past the 250-yard fairway area need to account for these hazards.
The green's narrow 17-yard width makes lateral precision crucial on your approach - aim for the center of this 30x17 yard target rather than attacking pins near the edges.
At 449 yards total length, this demanding par 4 requires two quality shots - even after a good drive to 200 yards, you're still facing a challenging 249-yard approach to a small green.
This 449-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
