This long par 4 demands distance off the tee — the right driver matters.
Shop Drivers →Strategy Tips
Exercise extreme caution off the tee - the entire left side is lined with out-of-bounds stakes, and with no recorded fairway width at standard distances, precision is absolutely critical to avoid penalty strokes.
Play conservatively off the tee with a fairway wood or long iron to ensure you stay in bounds - the lack of measurable fairway width suggests an extremely narrow or challenging landing area that demands accuracy over distance.
Plan your approach carefully to the compact 2,640 square foot green (24y x 21y) - this relatively small target requires precise distance control and club selection for your second shot on this 458-yard par 4.
Be aware of greenside bunkers positioned at 443.6 and 451.0 yards from the tee - these hazards guard the green and will catch any approach shots that come up short or drift offline.
Focus on hitting the center of this rectangular green measuring 24 yards by 21 yards - with such a compact putting surface, missing the green will likely leave you with a challenging up-and-down.
This 458-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.
