Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 190-yard par 3 demands precision with your club selection. The moderate distance requires a confident mid-iron approach, typically 5-7 iron depending on conditions and pin position.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the green at 176 and 194 yards from the tee. The front bunker at 176 yards can catch shots that come up short, while the back bunker at 194 yards punishes overly aggressive swings.

The generous green measures 4,600 square feet (26 yards by 33 yards), providing a substantial target. Use this size to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions.
