Strategy Tips

tee shot

At just 301 yards, this par 4 is drivable for longer hitters, but the fairway tightens significantly beyond 200 yards—shrinking from 27 yards wide at 200y to only 19 yards wide at 250y. Players attempting to reach the green must be precise, as the corridor narrows exactly where a big drive would land.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach and green complex at 240.5y, 275.9y, and 282.9y. Since the hole is only 301 yards, aggressive drives risk finding one of these traps, especially the pair at 275.9y and 282.9y that flank the likely landing zone for big hitters going for the green.

tee shot

Conservative players should consider laying up short of the fairway bunker at 240.5y, using the wider 27-yard fairway width at 200y as a target zone to set up a manageable short-iron approach rather than risking the narrow, bunker-lined stretch beyond it.

green

The green is categorized as small at just 3006 sq ft (26 yards by 20 yards), demanding a precise approach shot regardless of whether you're hitting a full wedge from a layup or a delicate pitch after a driver attempt. Club selection and distance control are critical to hold this tight target.

approach

For players who lay up short of the 240.5y bunker, the remaining approach will be roughly 60 yards into a small 26x20 yard green—prioritize a soft-landing wedge shot to avoid running through the shallow 20-yard depth of the putting surface.
