Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway widens significantly from 200 to 250 yards, expanding from 42 to 50 yards wide. This 8-yard expansion rewards longer hitters who can carry their drive past the 200-yard mark, providing more room for error and better angles into the green.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 334 and 360 yards from the tee, most approach shots will play from 80-110 yards to the pin. The green measures 32 by 30 yards (5,488 sq ft), providing a generous target that should accept well-struck wedge shots.

tee shot

At 441 yards, this par 4 demands a strategic tee shot. Position your drive in the 200-250 yard range to take advantage of the wider fairway section (50 yards) while avoiding the bunkers that guard the landing area beyond 334 yards.

green

The green's substantial size of 5,488 square feet (32x30 yards) means pin position will be crucial for scoring. With such a large putting surface, focus on getting your approach shot to the correct tier or section rather than attacking every pin.
