Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 493-yard par 4 presents an unusual challenge with no traditional fairway landing zones at 200 or 250 yards. Focus on precision over distance, as the hole likely features a forced carry or narrow target area that demands accurate placement rather than maximum length.

hazard warning

Two significant bunkers are positioned at 295 and 457 yards from the tee. The bunker at 295 yards is likely in the primary landing zone for longer hitters, requiring careful club selection to avoid this hazard while still leaving a manageable approach distance.

approach

With the green bunker positioned at 457 yards and the hole measuring 493 yards total, you'll face approximately a 36-yard approach shot if you can carry the fairway bunker. This short approach demands precise distance control and spin to hold the putting surface.

green

The generous 4,416 square foot green (27x31 yards) provides a good target for approach shots, but don't let the size fool you. Tom Fazio's design likely incorporates subtle slopes and pin positions that reward precise approach shots to specific quadrants of this substantial putting surface.

tee shot

At 493 yards, this hole plays longer than most par 4s and may require a strategic layup approach rather than attempting to reach in regulation. Consider playing for position that sets up the best angle for your second shot, especially given the hazard placement.
