Strategy Tips

tee shot

This dogleg left over Indian Creek demands precision off the tee. Aim for the 100-yard marker to position yourself optimally, as the fairway narrows significantly from 67 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 56 yards at 250 yards.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker positioned at 248.8 yards from the tee - this hazard sits right in the prime landing zone for longer hitters and can catch drives that don't navigate the dogleg properly.

approach

With bunkers guarding the green at 330.6 and 370.3 yards, your approach shot requires careful club selection. The relatively compact green measuring 36 yards by 29 yards demands accuracy over distance.

tee shot

At 378 yards, this par 4 is manageable length-wise, but the dogleg left design means conservative positioning is often better than maximum distance. Tee shots that go too far left may require a layup approach.

green

The green's modest size of 5,769 square feet makes it a challenging target, especially with the bunkered surrounds. Focus on finding the correct tier and leaving yourself an uphill putt when possible.
