Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents an extremely challenging tee shot with no fairway width at the 200-yard mark, creating a severe bottleneck that demands precise placement to avoid trouble.

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee, laying up short of the 200-yard trouble zone or carrying well past it to reach the 29-yard wide fairway at 250 yards - anything in between will find hazards.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 277 and 365 yards from the tee, your approach shot will likely play from around 140-170 yards to a compact 4,844 square foot green that slopes forward as typical at Sedgefield.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 28 by 32 yards combined with Sedgefield's characteristic forward-sloping putting surfaces means approach shots must be precise to avoid rolling off the edges.

tee shot

Consider laying up to around 200 yards with a mid-iron off the tee to stay short of the fairway bottleneck, leaving a manageable approach shot to this demanding par-4.
