Focus on accuracy over distance from the tee - the fairway widens significantly from 49 yards at 200 yards to 61 yards at 250 yards, so laying up short of the bunkers gives you the widest landing area for your second shot.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 248 yards from the tee - if you can carry 250+ yards consistently, aim for the wider fairway section at 61 yards wide, but anything shorter should stay well short of these hazards.
This 508-yard par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the risk/reward calculation depends on your position after the tee shot - use the extra fairway width at 250+ yards to set up an aggressive second shot angle.
The compact 2,135 square foot green (19x20 yards) demands precision on approach shots - focus on hitting the correct section of this relatively small target rather than going for pins near edges.
This 508-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
