Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically in the 200-250 yard range where the fairway maintains a consistent 32-yard width, giving you optimal positioning for your approach to this signature finishing hole.

approach

From a well-positioned drive, you'll face a mid-to-long iron approach of 150-200 yards to a compact green measuring just 24 by 27 yards - precision over power is essential here.

hazard warning

Avoid the greenside bunkers positioned at 347.5 and 352.1 yards from the tee - these protect the putting surface and will leave you with challenging up-and-downs on this elevated green near the clubhouse.

green

Target the center of this relatively small 4,320 square foot green - with the iconic clubhouse backdrop and elevated position, this finishing hole rewards conservative approach play over aggressive pin-hunting.
