Focus on accuracy over distance off the tee, as the fairway is relatively narrow at just 26 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. A controlled drive with a 3-wood or hybrid may be the smarter play to ensure you stay in the short grass.
If you can carry your drive 250 yards, you'll have more room to work with as the fairway opens up to 31 yards wide, giving you a better angle and lie for your approach shot to this 446-yard par 4.
Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 430, 432, and 447 yards from the tee. These surround the green area and will catch any approach shots that are slightly off target, so club selection and accuracy are crucial.
The green measures 27 yards by 27 yards (4,119 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target. With bunkers guarding the green, aim for the center of the putting surface rather than attacking pins near the edges.
At 446 yards, this hole requires two solid shots to reach the green in regulation. Plan your tee shot to leave yourself with a comfortable approach distance, typically a mid-iron from around 150-170 yards for most golfers.
This 446-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
