Strategy Tips

tee shot

Aim for the telephone pole landmark to reach the ideal 100-yard approach distance. The fairway widens significantly from 30 yards at 200 yards to 43 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters have more margin for error.

tee shot

On this 446-yard par 4, conservative players should favor accuracy over distance. The fairway is only 30 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, making position more important than maximum distance for your approach shot visibility.

approach

The approach shot plays over a deep valley and creek from a downhill lie, making distance judgment critical. With a generous 6,637 square foot green measuring 40x30 yards, aim for the center to account for the difficult depth perception.

hazard warning

Water extends 150 yards back from the front of the green, and the hole plays into prevailing wind. Factor in extra club selection for this 446-yard hole, especially when the wind is against you.

approach

The green is relatively large at 40 yards deep by 30 yards wide, but remember that shorter drives provide less visibility of the putting surface. Prioritize getting to that 100-yard marker for the clearest view of your target.
