Strategy Tips

tee shot

Bunker trouble awaits between 295-331 yards off the tee, so plan your drive to either stay short of 295y or carry well past 331y to find a clean lie in the fairway.

hazard warning

Three bunkers cluster tightly in the driving zone at 295.4y, 307.3y, and 330.8y—longer hitters should favor a 3-wood or hybrid to lay up short of this trio rather than risk the sand with a driver.

approach

With the hole playing 438 yards to a par 4, most golfers will face a mid-to-long iron approach after clearing the 330.8y bunker, so club selection should account for the remaining 100+ yards to the green.

green

The small green (4,830 sq ft, 31y x 34y) demands precision on the approach—favor accuracy over distance to avoid missing this compact target and facing a difficult up-and-down.

hazard warning

The bunker at 330.8y sits closest to the green complex, making it the most punishing hazard for players who overestimate their approach distance; take one club less if uncertain to avoid catching sand.
