Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway with your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 38 yards at the 200-yard mark to 42 yards at 250 yards - giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker positioned at 271 yards from the tee - big hitters should consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of this hazard while still leaving a manageable approach.

approach

Your approach shot will likely be from 180-200 yards to a compact green measuring just 17 yards by 28 yards (3,018 sq ft) - club selection and distance control are critical on this relatively small target.

approach

Be aware of greenside bunkers positioned at 384.7 and 407.8 yards from the tee - these guard the putting surface and demand precise approach shots to avoid short-siding yourself.

tee shot

At 479 yards, this par-4 requires two quality shots - focus on finding the fairway first, as the premium is on accuracy rather than distance to set up the best angle for your approach to the compact green.
