Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 30 yards wide, then opens up to 46 yards at 250 yards. A controlled tee shot with a hybrid or long iron ensures you stay in play and sets up an optimal approach angle.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 251, 301, and 401 yards from the tee. The bunker at 251 yards is particularly dangerous for longer drives, so club selection off the tee is critical.

approach

With no defined landing zone from the tee, position your drive between 200-230 yards to leave a mid-iron approach of 170-200 yards to the large 6,173 square foot green.

green

The generous 31x31 yard green allows for aggressive pin hunting, but remember this slopes back to front. Approach shots should favor the back portion to use the slope to feed balls toward front pins.

approach

Avoid going long and left of this 400-yard par 4, as difficult recovery shots await. The large green size gives you margin for error, so err on the side of the center-right portion.
