Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully as the fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 12 yards wide at 250 yards - this creates a critical decision point for longer hitters.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 219.5 yards from the tee - laying up short of this distance with a controlled tee shot ensures you avoid trouble and stay in the wider portion of the fairway.

approach

At 578 yards, this par 5 requires strategic course management - most players should plan for a three-shot approach rather than attempting to reach in two, given the narrow landing areas.

green

The green measures 29 yards deep by 18 yards wide (3,380 sq ft), providing a relatively narrow target that rewards accurate approach shots - club selection and distance control are crucial for your final approach.

tee shot

Consider hitting a controlled fairway wood or hybrid off the tee to position yourself at the 200-yard mark where the fairway is still 24 yards wide, setting up an easier second shot down the narrower section.
