Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway widens significantly from 45 yards at the 200-yard mark to 60 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters should favor a driver to take advantage of the more generous landing area and set up a shorter approach to this signature lakeside hole.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 385, 407, and 410 yards from the tee, your approach shot will need to carry these greenside hazards on this 405-yard par 4 - plan for a precise wedge or short iron into the relatively compact 5,946 square foot green.

green

The green measures just 46 yards deep by 24 yards wide, making it a smaller target that demands accuracy on your approach - focus on hitting the correct tier and leaving yourself below the hole on this lakeside putting surface.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers at 385, 407, and 410 yards guard the green complex on this 405-yard hole - any approach shot must clear these sand traps, so take one extra club to ensure you carry the trouble.

tee shot

For players who struggle with accuracy off the tee, laying back to the 200-yard area leaves a 45-yard wide fairway target - this conservative strategy sets up a manageable 205-yard approach while avoiding the pressure of the tighter driving zones.
