Strategy Tips

tee shot

Exercise extreme caution off the tee - the fairway is completely absent at the 200-yard mark, creating a forced carry or strategic layup situation. Consider a controlled iron or hybrid to position yourself for the wider landing area.

tee shot

If attempting to reach the fairway in one shot, aim for the 250-yard area where the fairway opens to 33 yards wide. This requires precise distance control and accuracy to avoid the hazards flanking this narrow target.

approach

From the fairway, you'll face a substantial approach shot to this 484-yard par 4. The green measures 19 yards wide by 45 yards deep, so club selection and distance control are critical for finding the putting surface.

hazard warning

Multiple bunkers guard the approach at 307, 320, and 459 yards from the tee. The bunker at 459 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits very close to the green, penalizing slightly mishit approach shots.

green

Target the center of this moderately-sized 5,670 square foot green. With its 19-yard width, missing left or right will likely result in difficult recovery shots, especially given the hole's length demands precision on the approach.
