At just 324 yards, this short par-4 offers strategic options. The fairway maintains a consistent width of 28-29 yards between 200-250 yards, so accuracy is more important than distance. Consider a controlled 3-wood or long iron to position yourself in the optimal landing zone.
With bunkers positioned at 285.8 yards from the tee, aggressive drivers risk finding sand. A conservative tee shot leaving 100-120 yards gives you the best angle into the compact 3,353 square foot green without bunker trouble.
The green measures just 33 yards by 26 yards - significantly smaller than average. This compact target demands precise approach shots and excellent distance control. Pin position will heavily influence your strategy on this tight putting surface.
Known as 'the Abyss,' this hole features the signature creek that winds along the fairway and guards the green. The fairway width of only 28-29 yards at key distances means any errant shot could find water or the pine trees mentioned in the course description.
The consistent fairway width of 28 yards at 200 yards and 29 yards at 250 yards means the landing area doesn't significantly change. Focus on finding the center of the fairway rather than trying to gain extra distance, as the hole's short length rewards precision over power.
This 324-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
