Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway on your tee shot to maximize options for your approach. The fairway is generously wide at both 200 yards (71 yards) and 250 yards (74 yards), giving you plenty of room to work with off the tee.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 154 yards from the tee. These hazards shouldn't affect most drives but could catch shorter hitters or mishit tee shots, so ensure you have enough club to clear them comfortably.

approach

From a typical drive landing around 250 yards, you'll face approximately 182 yards into the green. This mid-to-long iron approach requires precision to hit the large green measuring 49 yards by 43 yards.

green

Take advantage of the generous green size at 11,069 square feet. This large target gives you margin for error on your approach shot, but be sure to note pin position as the 49-yard length means club selection can vary significantly depending on flag placement.

tee shot

With the fairway actually getting slightly wider as you go longer (74 yards at 250 versus 71 yards at 200), don't be afraid to take an aggressive line off the tee to set up the best angle for your approach shot.
