Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par-4 at 343 yards offers a strategic decision off the tee. With the fairway maintaining a generous 31 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, most golfers can confidently hit driver or 3-wood to set up a short iron approach.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker complex around the green area, with hazards positioned at 308.9, 332.3, and 343.0 yards from the tee. The bunker at 343 yards is essentially greenside and will catch any aggressive drives that find the target line.

approach

After a 200-yard tee shot, you'll have approximately 143 yards remaining to a compact green measuring just 2,963 square feet. This small target demands precision with your approach club selection and shot execution.

green

The green's dimensions of 23 yards by 21 yards create a nearly square target that's smaller than average. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the compact surface leaves little margin for error.

tee shot

Consider laying up with a 200-yard club off the tee to avoid the greenside bunker at 343 yards while still taking advantage of the 33-yard-wide fairway at the 250-yard mark, leaving a comfortable wedge distance to the pin.
