Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically widens from 24 yards at 200 yards to 50 yards at 250 yards, making a longer tee shot much more forgiving. Consider using driver to take advantage of the wider landing area and set up a shorter approach to the compact green.

approach

With the green measuring only 5,109 square feet (35y x 24y), precision is critical on your approach shot. This compact target requires accurate club selection and committed swings, especially given the Scottish-inspired sod-walled bunkers surrounding the green complex.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard this hole at 174.6, 252.4, and 305.9 yards from the tee. The bunker at 252.4 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters, positioned right where the fairway widens and players might get aggressive with driver.

tee shot

At only 340 yards, this short par-4 offers birdie opportunities but demands strategic thinking. The narrow 24-yard fairway at 200 yards makes a conservative 3-wood or hybrid a smart play, leaving a comfortable wedge into the small green rather than risking the bunkers with an aggressive driver.

green

The green's dimensions of 35 yards by 24 yards create a relatively narrow target that rewards precise approach shots. Factor in the coastal winds common at Arcadia Bluffs when selecting your approach club, as this compact green offers little margin for error.
