Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway measures 37 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, offering a reasonably generous landing area for tee shots. Favor the widest part of the fairway to set up a clean angle into the small green.

hazard warning

A fairway bunker sits at 294.2 yards, well within range for players hitting driver 260-290 yards. Consider a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee to lay up short of this hazard if you carry the ball beyond 270 yards.

approach

With the green just 408 yards from the tee, most approach shots will be mid-to-short irons. Take note of the second bunker at 345.2 yards, which likely guards the front or side of the green complex and should be avoided on your layup or approach.

green

This green is categorized as small at only 3,568 square feet (27 yards by 25 yards), leaving little margin for error. Prioritize accuracy over distance on your approach to ensure you hit this compact target.

hazard warning

A bunker positioned at 414.2 yards—just beyond the hole's total length—likely sits behind or beside the green. Avoid overshooting your approach, as this back bunker will penalize any shot that runs long.
