Strategy Tips

hazard warning

The fairway completely disappears at 200 yards due to water hazard - you must carry the water but avoid overclubbing into desert trouble beyond

tee shot

Target the 250-yard mark where the fairway opens to 39 yards wide - use a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the safe landing zone

approach

Avoid the bunker cluster at 277-298 yards - with the green measuring just 18x24 yards, precision is critical on this uphill approach

green

The severely back-to-front sloped green covers only 2,393 square feet - aim for the front portion to avoid difficult downhill putts

approach

From the 250-yard landing area, you'll have a 133-yard uphill approach to the elevated green - take one extra club for the elevation change
