Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents an extreme challenge with no traditional fairway landing areas - the fairway measures 0 yards wide at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks, indicating forced carries or extremely narrow corridors that require pinpoint accuracy.

tee shot

With no viable landing zone from the tee (0 yards identified), this likely requires a strategic layup or precision shot to navigate the canyon terrain - consider club selection that prioritizes accuracy over distance to find the safe areas.

hazard warning

Three significant bunkers guard the approach at 359.2, 312.0, and 278.6 yards from the tee - these hazards likely protect the only playable areas on this dramatic desert hole, so plan your strategy around avoiding these sandy penalties.

approach

The compact green measures just 4,296 square feet (33x24 yards), demanding precise approach shots on this 447-yard par 4 - with the challenging terrain leading to the green, focus on hitting the center of this relatively small target.
