Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically between 200-250 yards to take advantage of the fairway expansion - the landing area widens dramatically from 36 yards at 200 yards to 68 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters a significant advantage in setup angle.

hazard warning

Avoid the fairway bunker positioned at 263 yards - this hazard sits right in the prime landing zone for most golfers and will significantly complicate your approach to this 461-yard par 4.

approach

Plan your approach carefully around the greenside bunker at 423 yards - with the green measuring 30x28 yards (4424 sq ft), you have a reasonably sized target, but precision is key to avoid this late-stage hazard.

tee shot

Consider laying up short of the 263-yard bunker if you're not confident about carrying it - this leaves approximately 200 yards to the green from a safe position in the 36-yard wide fairway section.

approach

Target the center of this 4424 square foot green on your approach shot - the green's 30x28 yard dimensions provide a reasonable margin for error, especially important given the strategic bunkers guarding the entrance.
