This hole presents an unusual challenge with no measurable fairway width at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee, indicating extremely tight playing corridors or potential hazards that eliminate traditional landing areas.
Plan your approach carefully around the three bunkers positioned at 453, 489, and 493 yards from the tee - these guard the green complex and require precise distance control on your final shot into this par-5.
The green measures 29 yards by 33 yards (5,116 square feet), providing a reasonably sized target for your approach, but accuracy remains crucial given Sedgefield's reputation for small, challenging putting surfaces.
With no traditional landing zone measurable from the tee and Sedgefield's characteristic narrow fairways and thick rough, consider a conservative tee shot strategy focusing on position over distance to set up the best angle for your second shot.
At 509 yards, this par-5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the bunkers clustered around 490 yards suggest laying up short of this distance may be the smarter play to avoid these hazards and leave a full wedge to the green.
This 509-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
