Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 482-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee. Target the center-left of the fairway which measures 30 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. Given the course's hilly terrain and out-of-bounds stakes lining many holes, accuracy trumps distance here.

approach

The fairway widens slightly to 33 yards at 250 yards, but with bunkers positioned at 413 and 442 yards, longer hitters need to be cautious. A controlled drive of 220-240 yards sets up the ideal approach angle to the 5,705 square foot green.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker at 117 yards - this hazard protects the front of the green and can catch short approach shots. With the green measuring 38 yards deep, club selection is critical to avoid this frontal protection.

green

The green's dimensions of 38 yards by 26 yards provide a generous target, but Carolina Country Club's signature undulating greens demand precise approach shots. Aim for the center of the green and let the ball work toward pin positions.

approach

With bunkers at 413 and 442 yards flanking the green complex, approach shots from 180-220 yards out require careful club selection. The 5,705 square foot putting surface offers room for error, but avoid the surrounding hazards at all costs.
