At 353 yards, this straight hole may appear benign from the tee, but the small green complex transforms what looks like a scoring opportunity into a test of accuracy.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee to avoid the dramatic fairway narrowing ahead. The fairway is a generous 73 yards wide at 200 yards, giving you plenty of room for a controlled tee shot with a hybrid or long iron.

hazard warning

Absolutely avoid going for the green in two shots. The fairway chokes down to just 12 yards wide at 250 yards - attempting to drive past this bottleneck will likely result in trouble and a much harder approach shot.

approach

Plan your approach from around 150 yards or closer to have the best angle into the green. This short par 4 at 353 yards rewards accuracy over distance, so position yourself for a comfortable wedge or short iron into the green.

green

Target the center of this moderately-sized green measuring 30 by 31 yards. With 5,068 square feet of putting surface, you have room to work with, but precision is still key for birdie opportunities.
