Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver on this demanding par 4.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 177.5 yards from the tee create a strategic decision point. Laying up short of these hazards with a mid-iron ensures a clean lie for your approach shot to this lengthy hole.

approach

At 472 yards, this par 4 will likely require a mid to long iron approach shot for most golfers. The generous green size of 6,625 square feet gives you a large target, so focus on finding the putting surface rather than pin-hunting.

green

The green dimensions of 33 yards by 35 yards provide ample landing area for approach shots. Use this size advantage by aiming for the center of the green, especially when the pin is tucked behind hazards or on the edges.

tee shot

With no designated landing zone distance from the tee, course management becomes crucial. Focus on finding the fairway at whatever distance keeps you in play, as the narrow 12-yard corridor leaves little room for error.
