Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway narrows significantly from 40 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 33 yards wide at 250 yards. This narrowing demands precision for longer hitters.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 214.9 yards from the tee, which sits right in the prime landing zone for most golfers. Club selection should account for either carrying this hazard or laying up short.

approach

From 427 yards total length, your approach shot will likely be from 150-200 yards to a compact green measuring just 4,314 square feet. The small target demands precise iron play and proper distance control.

green

The green's dimensions of 22 yards by 31 yards create a relatively narrow target that rewards accuracy over distance. Given Sedgefield's characteristic forward-sloping greens, approach shots should favor the center or back portion to avoid rolling off the front edge.

tee shot

Consider a controlled tee shot with a 3-wood or hybrid to position yourself at the 200-yard mark where the fairway is at its widest (40 yards), giving you the best angle and lie for your approach to this challenging par-4.
