Strategy Tips

tee shot

Aim for the telephone pole landmark to reach the ideal position at the 100-yard marker. The fairway is generous at 55 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, giving you room to work with on this blind tee shot.

tee shot

Avoid the aggressive line past 250 yards where the fairway narrows to just 50 yards wide. A controlled drive of 220-240 yards sets up the best angle and visibility for your approach.

From the ideal driving position, you'll face approximately 180-200 yards to a moderately-sized green measuring 5,375 square feet. Club up due to the downhill lie making distance control challenging.

hazard warning

Three greenside bunkers guard the approach at 525, 511, and 482 yards from the tee. These strategically placed hazards punish short or wayward approach shots on this 427-yard hole.

Target the center of the 36-yard by 32-yard green rather than chasing pin positions. The deep valley and creek mentioned in course notes make precision more important than aggression on the approach.
