Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 548 yards, this par 5 demands a strategic tee shot to the widest part of the fairway. Aim for the 250-yard mark where the fairway opens to 34 yards wide, giving you the best angle and room for error on this demanding hole.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers at 454, 520, and 521 yards create a gauntlet around the green complex. The bunker at 454 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters attempting to reach in two, while the greenside bunkers at 520-521 yards guard against aggressive approaches.

approach

With the green measuring just 4,091 square feet (24 x 34 yards), precision is paramount on your approach. This compact target rewards accurate iron play and punishes wayward shots, making course management more important than raw distance.

tee shot

Avoid the temptation to bomb your drive - the fairway narrows to just 29 yards at the 200-yard mark. A controlled tee shot with a 3-wood or long iron to this area sets up a more manageable second shot on this 548-yard test.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 24 by 34 yards make this hole play much tougher than its 548-yard length suggests. Focus on hitting the correct tier and leaving yourself below the hole for the best chance at birdie on this challenging par 5.
