Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically widens from 15 yards at the 200-yard mark to 57 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters should favor a driver or 3-wood to reach the generous landing area and set up the best approach angle.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 287.9 and 264.3 yards from the tee, your approach shot will likely be from around 100-140 yards to a compact 4,483 square foot green that's only 21 yards wide - precision is absolutely critical here.

hazard warning

This is a true 'all-or-nothing' target hole where the creek surrounds the green short, left, and long - with the green measuring just 21 yards across, there's virtually no margin for error on your approach shot.

tee shot

Conservative players should consider laying up short of the bunker at 264.3 yards, leaving a longer but safer approach rather than risking the narrow 15-yard fairway corridor at 200 yards.
