With the fairway expanding from 68 yards at 200 yards to 80 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the extra width by driving past the 200-yard marker. This opens up better approach angles to the 5,619 square foot green.
The approach shot plays to a substantial green measuring 39 yards by 34 yards, giving you room to work with. From 379 yards total length, most players will have a mid-iron approach, so focus on finding the correct tier rather than attacking pins.
Be aware of Palmer's signature beach bunker and strategically placed hazards at 277.6, 368.7, and 381.9 yards from the tee. The bunker at 277.6 yards is particularly dangerous for aggressive drives, while the greenside bunkers at 368.7 and 381.9 yards guard the putting surface.
At 379 yards total length, this hole rewards strategic positioning over pure distance. Consider laying back to the 200-yard area where the fairway is 68 yards wide, leaving a comfortable approach to the large green rather than challenging the bunker at 277.6 yards.
The green's generous size of 5,619 square feet means putting strategy is crucial. Study the slopes and tiers carefully, as two-putting from long range on this large surface requires proper speed control and reading the breaks correctly.
This 379-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.
