Strategy Tips

tee shot

At just 307 yards, this short par-4 presents a strategic choice: lay up with a mid-iron to the generous 48-yard wide fairway at 200 yards, or attempt to drive closer to the green where the fairway narrows to 39 yards at 250 yards.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the approach zone at 261.7, 293.4, and 310.5 yards from the tee - aggressive drivers must navigate between these hazards or risk a difficult recovery shot.

approach

The compact 3,358 square foot green (21 x 33 yards) rewards precision over power - focus on accuracy with your approach shot rather than trying to get too close with an aggressive tee shot.

tee shot

Consider the risk-reward carefully: driving beyond 250 yards puts you in the narrower 39-yard fairway section, but leaves only a short wedge to the green - perfect for confident ball-strikers.

green

With the green measuring 21 yards wide by 33 yards deep, pin position will be crucial - aim for the center of this relatively small target to ensure you're putting rather than chipping.
