Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark with your tee shot, where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - this requires precision over distance. A controlled iron or hybrid may be the smarter play than driver to ensure you stay in the short grass.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 239 yards create a significant hazard zone. If you're hitting driver, be aware that a well-struck shot could find sand - consider club selection that keeps you short of this trouble.

approach

From the ideal position at 200 yards, you'll have a manageable 198-yard approach shot into the green. This sets up nicely for a mid-iron approach rather than forcing a long iron or hybrid.

green

The green measures 30 yards by 28 yards (4,982 sq ft), providing a generous target for your approach shot. This larger green rewards aggressive play, but pin position will dictate your strategy.

tee shot

Longer hitters who can carry the bunkers at 239 yards will find the fairway opens up to 24 yards wide at 250 yards, rewarding aggressive play with an easier approach angle.
