Strategy Tips

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.

hazard warning

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.

approach

green
