Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway widens significantly from 28 yards at the 200-yard mark to 37 yards at 250 yards. This gives longer hitters more room to work with while still providing a safe landing area for shorter drives.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 424.1 and 446.2 yards from the tee. These guard the putting surface and will catch approach shots that are slightly long or off-target, making distance control crucial on your second shot.

approach

From a good drive position around 250 yards, you'll face approximately a 205-yard approach shot to a compact green measuring just 26 yards by 21 yards. Club selection is critical - favor one more club than the yardage suggests to ensure you clear the front bunkers.

green

The green's modest size of 3,153 square feet demands precise approach shots. With such a compact target, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as missing this small surface will likely result in a difficult up-and-down.

tee shot

Avoid the fairway bunker positioned at 289.2 yards from the tee. This hazard sits right in the prime landing zone for longer hitters, so consider taking a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee to ensure you stay short of trouble while still leaving a manageable approach distance.
