Strategy Tips

hazard warning

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.

tee shot

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.

approach

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.

approach

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.

green

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.
