Target the center-left of the fairway on your tee shot, as the landing area widens significantly from 47 yards at the 200-yard mark to 57 yards at 250 yards. Longer hitters can take advantage of this extra width by carrying their drive past 250 yards.
Be aware of the bunker positioned at 263 yards from the tee - this catches aggressive drives that find the rough or slightly offline shots. Consider laying up short of this hazard if you're not confident in your accuracy off the tee.
From a good drive position, you'll face a mid-to-long iron approach shot into a generous green measuring 35 by 38 yards. The green's substantial size at 7,061 square feet provides a good target, but focus on the correct tier based on pin position.
Watch for greenside bunkers positioned at 370 and 405 yards from the tee - these guard the front and sides of the green. Club selection is crucial on this 469-yard par 4, as coming up short or going long can leave difficult recovery shots.
With the green being nearly square in shape (35x38 yards), putting strategy becomes important. The substantial green size means long putts are possible, so prioritize getting your approach shot to the correct section of the green rather than just hitting the surface.
This 469-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.
