Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 552-yard par-5 demands accuracy off the tee as the fairway narrows significantly from 31 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 26 yards at 250 yards. Position your drive in the left-center of the fairway to set up the best angle for your second shot.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 515, 527, and 541 yards from the tee, your layup shot becomes critical. Aim for the 200-220 yard range from the tee to avoid the fairway squeeze and leave yourself 100-120 yards to a manageable green approach.

green

The green measures 30 yards deep by 22 yards wide (4,122 sq ft), making it a relatively small target for a par-5. Club selection for your approach is crucial - ensure you have enough club to clear the front bunkers while avoiding long putts on this compact putting surface.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green complex at 515, 527, and 541 yards from the tee. These create a gauntlet for aggressive players attempting to reach in two - consider the risk versus reward of going for the green versus laying up short of the bunkers.

approach

For most players, this hole plays as a three-shot par-5. After a solid drive to the 31-yard wide landing area at 200 yards, position your second shot to leave a full wedge approach to the 30x22 yard green rather than attempting a risky long iron over the greenside bunkers.
