Favor a club that leaves you short of 245 yards or carries beyond 269 yards to avoid the fairway bunker cluster at 245.8y and 268.9y; laying up to the 200y mark gives you a 32-yard-wide fairway to work with.
If you can carry it past 250 yards, the fairway widens to 37 yards, offering a more forgiving landing zone than the 32-yard width at 200 yards.
A bunker sits at 388.5 yards, just short of the green on this 401-yard par 4—club selection on the approach should account for this hazard guarding the front of the putting surface.
With only 12-13 yards remaining after the greenside bunker at 388.5y, plan your approach shot trajectory to carry the hazard and hold the small green.
The green is classified as small at just 3684 sq ft (23y x 30y), so precision on the approach is critical—err on the side of club-up rather than short to avoid the front bunker.
This 401-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
