Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents a unique challenge with no traditional fairway landing zones - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks, indicating either a forced carry or extremely narrow playing corridor that requires precision off the tee.

tee shot

With no viable landing zone from the tee and the hole measuring 350 yards total, this appears to be a risk/reward hole where longer hitters can attempt to carry hazards and reach the green area, while others must play strategically short of trouble.

approach

Three bunkers positioned at 268.7, 272.9, and 290.6 yards create a defensive cluster that protects the approach to this par 4, requiring careful club selection and placement to avoid these hazards on your second shot.

green

The green measures 24 yards by 30 yards (3,389 square feet), providing a reasonably sized target for approach shots, but given the narrow playing corridors leading to it, accuracy will be more important than distance control.

tee shot

At 350 yards for a par 4, this hole offers scoring potential for those who can navigate the narrow corridors successfully - consider this a strategic hole where course management trumps distance, especially given Wolf Creek's reputation for narrow fairways and water hazards on twelve holes.
