Focus on accuracy over distance off the tee - the fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards wide at 200 yards to just 12 yards wide at 250 yards, making longer drives increasingly risky.
Position your second shot to avoid the bunkers at 406.7 yards - lay up to around 150-160 yards for an optimal approach angle to the green.
Target the center of this relatively small green measuring 21 by 24 yards - with only 3,160 square feet of putting surface, precision is more important than pin-hunting.
Consider playing conservatively to the 200-yard mark where you'll have 24 yards of fairway width, setting up a manageable second shot on this 458-yard par 5.
Beware of the severe fairway bottleneck - missing the 12-yard-wide landing zone at 250 yards will likely result in trouble, making this hole play much longer than its 458-yard length.
This 458-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
