Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway for your tee shot, as the landing area widens significantly from 34 yards at 200 yards to 43 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 221.6 yards from the tee - shorter hitters should play conservatively to stay short, while longer hitters need precise placement to carry or avoid it.

approach

With bunkers guarding the green at 358.5 and 335.8 yards from the tee, your approach shot will likely be from 100-150 yards - focus on club selection that avoids the greenside protection.

green

The compact 3,589 square foot green (24x23 yards) demands precision on your approach - aim for the center of this relatively small target to avoid Pinehurst No. 4's characteristically bold slopes and ridges.
