Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 507-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee. Target the center of the fairway which widens from 30 yards at 200 yards to 36 yards at 250 yards - the extra 6 yards of width at the longer distance rewards a confident drive.

hazard warning

Beware of the strategic bunker positioned at 254.4 yards from the tee - this perfectly placed hazard will catch aggressive drives that find the right side of the fairway, so favor a slight draw or aim left-center off the tee.

approach

After a solid drive, you'll face a demanding approach to a substantial green measuring 6,528 square feet. The green's generous size (32 yards by 43 yards) provides multiple pin positions, so club selection should prioritize distance control over precision.

approach

Two greenside bunkers positioned at 452.5 and 447.7 yards from the tee guard the putting surface. These hazards are approximately 200+ yards from a good drive, making approach club selection critical to avoid short-siding yourself.

green

With the green stretching 43 yards in length, pin position becomes crucial on this Tom Fazio design. The large putting surface rewards aggressive approaches when the pin is accessible, but demands conservative play when tucked behind the greenside bunkers.
