Strategy Tips

tee shot

Take advantage of the generous landing area by aiming for the 250-yard mark where the fairway opens up dramatically to 74 yards wide, giving you plenty of room to unleash a powerful drive as this hole typically plays downwind.

hazard warning

Avoid the fairway bunker positioned at 163 yards from the tee - while it won't catch most drives, shorter hitters or those playing into wind should be aware of this hazard in the primary landing zone.

approach

From a 250-yard drive, you'll face approximately a 222-yard uphill approach shot to this lengthy 472-yard par 4 - club up at least one club to account for the uphill lie and consider the wind direction.

hazard warning

Be cautious of the greenside bunker at 396 yards from the tee, which guards the front portion of the green complex and can catch approach shots that come up short.

green

Target the massive 12,989 square foot green (51 yards deep by 46 yards wide) based on pin position - with such a large putting surface, precision approach shots to the correct section are crucial for manageable two-putt opportunities.
