Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area maintains a consistent 24-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, giving you room to work with for positioning your approach.

approach

Plan your approach to this 428-yard par 4 carefully - if you hit driver 250 yards, you'll have approximately 178 yards remaining to a generously-sized green measuring 34 by 32 yards.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 294 yards from the tee - these will only come into play for very long drivers, but could catch bombs that carry beyond your intended landing zone.

green

Take advantage of the large putting surface at 6,126 square feet - this gives you room to be aggressive with your approach shot and aim for pin positions rather than just hitting to the center.

tee shot

Consider laying back with a 3-wood or hybrid to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is still 24 yards wide, leaving you a comfortable mid-iron approach to the receptive green.
