Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents a unique challenge with no traditional fairway landing zones - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee, indicating either water hazards, dense rough, or severe terrain features that eliminate conventional play.

tee shot

With no safe landing zone in the typical driving distance range, consider laying up with a shorter club off the tee to find whatever narrow safe area exists, rather than attempting a full driver that could find trouble in the 200-250 yard range.

approach

Plan your approach carefully around the bunkers positioned at 393, 462, and 501 yards - these likely guard key areas of the hole and will require precise distance control to avoid, especially the bunker at 462 yards which sits in prime approach position.

green

The large green measuring 6,841 square feet (34 x 44 yards) offers a generous target for your approach shots, so focus on hitting the putting surface rather than attacking specific pin positions, especially given the challenging route to reach it.

approach

At 572 yards, this par 5 requires strategic course management rather than pure distance - break it into manageable segments and avoid the bunker complex, particularly the one at 501 yards which likely guards the green approach.
