Strategy Tips

tee shot

Execute a controlled left-to-right fade off the tee to avoid the left-side bunkers and position yourself in the wider landing area. The fairway expands from 22 yards at 200 yards to 38 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters have more room to work with.

approach

From 200+ yards out, you'll be hitting into a compact green measuring just 34 yards by 27 yards. Club up and focus on center-green strategy rather than attacking pins, as this small target demands precision over aggression.

hazard warning

Two greenside bunkers positioned at 440.1 and 440.9 yards guard the putting surface. These are strategically placed to catch approach shots that miss the compact 5,465 square foot green, making distance control crucial on your second shot.

tee shot

At 458 yards, this long par-4 opener demands a quality drive to set up a manageable approach. Aim for the 250-yard mark where the fairway widens to 38 yards, giving you the best angle and distance for your approach shot.

green

The green's modest 5,465 square foot area makes it one of the smaller targets you'll face. Focus on smooth tempo and solid contact on your approach, as missing this green will likely result in a difficult up-and-down from the surrounding bunkers.
