Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 250-yard mark where the fairway opens up to its widest point at 65 yards, giving you maximum room for error and the best angle for your second shot on this 593-yard par 5.

approach

Avoid the fairway bunkers positioned at 520-525 yards - lay up short of these hazards if you can't carry them comfortably, as they guard the ideal approach distance to the green.

approach

When approaching the relatively compact 4,983 square foot green (37x27 yards), club selection is critical - as one tour pro noted, a confident 6-iron from 201 yards can yield great results when you trust your yardage.

green

Be extremely cautious with putts from behind the hole, especially on the back portion of this 37-yard deep green - even 10-foot putts can break 4+ feet due to severe slopes.

hazard warning

Avoid pins tucked back right at all costs - water lurks short and right of the green, and the severe downhill slopes can turn three-putts into bogeys even for tour professionals.
