Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 at just 302 yards offers a strategic decision off the tee. The fairway width of 34 yards at the 200-yard mark gives you room to hit driver, but consider the risk-reward with bunkers positioned at 281.3 and 295.1 yards - a well-struck driver could easily find trouble.

tee shot

Play conservatively with a 3-wood or long iron to the 200-yard area where the fairway is widest at 34 yards, leaving you a comfortable wedge into this compact green rather than risking the bunkers that guard the landing area beyond 280 yards.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker complex that begins at 281.3 yards and extends through 312.4 yards - this covers the entire aggressive driving zone and even extends past the hole's total length, indicating these hazards wrap around or guard the green approach.

approach

If you do drive it long and avoid the bunkers, you'll face a delicate short game shot into a relatively small green measuring just 3,489 square feet (24x33 yards) - precision over power is key on the approach.

green

The compact green dimensions of 24 by 33 yards demand accurate approach shots - with Wolf Creek's signature deep bunkers and challenging conditions, missing this small target will likely result in a difficult up-and-down.
