Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully to avoid the bunker complex at 254 yards - this hazard sits right in the prime landing zone for longer hitters, so consider a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble while still advancing the ball effectively.

tee shot

Target the left side of the fairway which runs slightly right the entire way - the fairway widens significantly from 40 yards at the 200-yard mark to 53 yards at 250 yards, giving you more room to work with on longer drives.

approach

From a good drive, you'll have a mid-iron approach into a compact green measuring just 4,435 square feet (33x22 yards) - focus on accuracy over distance and aim for the center of this relatively small target.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 344 and 367 yards - these guard the putting surface and will catch any approach shots that come up short or drift offline on this uphill par 4.

approach

Given the hole's 379-yard length and uphill nature, most players will have a 7-9 iron approach after a solid drive - take one extra club to account for the elevation change and ensure you reach the putting surface.
