Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 428-yard par 4 presents an unusual challenge with no traditional fairway landing area - the design forces strategic positioning and precise club selection from the tee to navigate the unique layout features.

tee shot

With no fairway corridor at the 250-yard mark, longer hitters must exercise restraint and consider laying up to a more manageable distance rather than attempting to overpower this Arnold Palmer design.

approach

The approach shot is critical on this hole - target the center of the relatively compact 5,020 square foot green to avoid the challenging recovery shots that Palmer's design demands around the putting surface.

green

With green dimensions of 35 yards by 25 yards, precision is key for approach shots - this moderately-sized target requires accurate distance control and proper club selection to avoid leaving difficult putts.

hazard warning

The absence of identified bunkers doesn't mean this hole lacks teeth - Palmer's design likely features native areas, water hazards, or other strategic elements that demand careful course management throughout the 428 yards.
