Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully in the 36-yard wide fairway at the 200-yard mark, as this strategic placement sets up the optimal angle for your approach to the moderately-sized green measuring 37 yards deep by 28 yards wide.

approach

With the green measuring only 5,852 square feet, precision is paramount on your approach shot - aim for the center of this compact target rather than hunting pins to avoid costly misses.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 441 and 429.8 yards from the tee - these protect the front and sides of the green, making distance control crucial on your approach to this 456-yard par-4.

tee shot

The fairway maintains a consistent 36-yard width from 200 to 250 yards, giving you flexibility in driver selection - consider laying back to 200 yards for optimal positioning rather than forcing a longer drive.

approach

Factor the green's 37-yard depth into your club selection and aim point - with bunkers guarding the entrance, ensure you have enough club to clear the front edge and work with the green's 28-yard width for safe landing areas.
