Strategy Tips

tee shot

This demanding 250-yard par 3 requires a hybrid or long iron for most players. The downhill nature of the hole means club selection is critical - take one less club than the yardage suggests to account for the elevation change.

hazard warning

Avoid the greenside bunkers positioned at 235 and 270 yards - these frame the green and will punish wayward shots. The bunker at 235 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits short and left of the putting surface.

green

Target the center of this moderately-sized 4,822 square foot green measuring 32 by 28 yards. The green slopes back-to-front, so shots landing pin-high or slightly long will feed toward the hole.

approach

With the fairway widening to 30 yards at the 250-yard mark, there's reasonable margin for error laterally. However, distance control is paramount on this hole - being short means finding the bunker at 235 yards.

green

The back-to-front slope means putting from above the hole is treacherous. Aim for the front half of the green when the pin is back, and don't be afraid to putt defensively from long distances given the 28-yard depth.
