Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway on your tee shot, as the landing area widens significantly from 26 yards at the 200-yard mark to 42 yards at 250 yards. This gives longer hitters more room to work with while keeping shorter drives in the safer, narrower section.

approach

With the green measuring 33 yards by 30 yards (6,208 sq ft), this is a moderately-sized target that rewards precision over power. Focus on hitting the correct tier of this multi-level green rather than going for pins tucked near hazards.

hazard warning

Be extremely cautious of the greenside bunkers positioned at 433 and 438.7 yards from the tee - these protect the front and sides of the green. Club up and aim for the center of the green to avoid these penal sand traps.

approach

At 434 yards, this par-4 requires a solid drive of 250+ yards to leave a manageable mid-iron approach. If you can't reach the wider 250-yard fairway section, play conservatively to the 200-yard zone and accept a longer approach shot.

green

The green's 33-yard width provides a reasonable target, but with water hazards nearby (as referenced in the hole's reputation for 'beauty and danger'), prioritize the safe side of the pin and two-putt for par rather than risk a short-sided chip or water ball.
