Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target a 200-yard tee shot to the widest part of the fairway, which measures 38 yards across at this distance. This conservative approach avoids the bunkers positioned at 243 and 252 yards while leaving a manageable approach shot.

hazard warning

Be aware of the fairway bunkers clustered around the 245-250 yard range. The bunker at 243.4 yards and another at 251.8 yards create a dangerous zone for longer hitters who try to bomb their drive.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll face approximately a 210-yard approach to the pin. The fairway narrows to just 33 yards at the 250-yard mark, so accuracy becomes critical if laying back further.

green

The green measures 25 yards by 29 yards (4,109 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target. With a greenside bunker positioned at 402.2 yards, precision is essential on your approach to avoid short-siding yourself.

approach

Consider the risk-reward of attacking the pin versus the greenside bunker at 402.2 yards. On this 410-yard hole, playing to the center of the green eliminates the bunker and gives you the best chance for par.
