Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway maintains a consistent 12-yard width at both the 200 and 250-yard markers, demanding precision off the tee. Focus on accuracy over distance to avoid the rough on this tight driving corridor.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 369 yards, most approach shots will play over or around these hazards. Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable approach distance that avoids carrying the sand.

approach

The green measures 34 yards deep by 28 yards wide, providing a relatively large target at 5,324 square feet. Use this generous landing area to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green.

tee shot

At 429 yards total length, position your drive between 200-250 yards to leave a manageable mid-iron approach. The narrow 12-yard fairway width makes course management more important than maximum distance.

green

The green's rectangular shape (34x28 yards) offers different pin position challenges. When the pin is on the narrower 28-yard width, precision becomes even more critical for approach shots.
