Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically widens from 28 yards at 200 yards to 80 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters should favor distance over precision to reach the generous landing area beyond the narrow section.

hazard warning

Three greenside bunkers positioned at 436.5, 415.9, and 399.9 yards create a defensive barrier around the putting surface - avoid coming up short as these hazards will catch anything landing within 37 yards of the green.

approach

With the green measuring 29 yards by 37 yards (5,517 square feet), this is a moderately-sized target that rewards precise iron play - aim for the center of the green to avoid the surrounding bunkers.

tee shot

At 451 yards, this demanding par-4 requires strategic positioning - shorter hitters should focus on finding the 28-yard wide fairway at 200 yards to set up a manageable approach shot.

approach

The elevated green design typical of Arnold Palmer's architecture means approach shots will play shorter than the yardage suggests - take one less club and focus on a smooth swing to avoid flying the green into trouble.
