Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 227 yards create a strategic challenge for longer hitters. If you can carry 230+ yards with your driver, you can clear them, but anything shorter risks finding sand.

approach

After a conservative tee shot to 200 yards, you'll face a demanding 271-yard approach to reach this lengthy par 4. Consider this a three-shot hole for most players rather than forcing a long iron or hybrid approach.

green

The compact green measures just 3,890 square feet (27x24 yards), making precision crucial on your approach. With such a small target, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

tee shot

The landing zone begins immediately from the tee with no forced carry, allowing you to play conservatively with a shorter club to ensure you find the narrow fairway and set up a manageable second shot.
