Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically in the 200-yard landing zone where the fairway is at its widest point of 49 yards, giving you maximum margin for error and the best angle into the green.

approach

From 250 yards out, accuracy becomes critical as the fairway narrows significantly to just 40 yards wide - consider laying up to your comfortable wedge distance rather than forcing a long approach.

hazard warning

Avoid the greenside bunker positioned at 373.4 yards - this hazard guards the approach and can complicate your up-and-down chances on this 427-yard par 4.

green

Target the center of this generous 4,821 square foot green (25 yards wide by 33 yards deep) to avoid short-siding yourself and ensure a makeable two-putt opportunity.

approach

Be aware of the bunker at 248.7 yards which can catch aggressive second shots - club selection should account for carrying this hazard while still leaving a manageable approach to the pin.
