Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 207-yard par 3 demands precision over power, especially with the prevailing wind typically working against you. Club up and focus on solid contact rather than trying to muscle a shorter iron.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach at 201.1, 197.3, and 178.5 yards from the tee. The front bunker at 178.5 yards can catch shots that come up short, while the two deeper bunkers at 197-201 yards protect pin positions.

green

The compact 3,884 square foot green measuring 26x26 yards rewards accurate distance control. With the undulating surface mentioned in course notes, focus on getting your ball below the hole for easier putts.

approach

With no fairway width at 250 yards, this is a direct shot to the green. The well-guarded green demands a committed swing - anything tentative will likely find trouble in the surrounding bunkers.

tee shot

Consider the 29-yard fairway width at 200 yards as your bailout area if conditions are particularly challenging. A strategic miss short and right of the green may offer a better angle for an up-and-down than attacking a difficult pin.
