Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents a unique strategic challenge with no traditional fairway landing zones - the course design forces a precision approach from the tee with bunkers positioned at 279.6 and 305.2 yards that must be carefully navigated.

tee shot

Given the 455-yard length and strategic bunkering, consider laying up short of the 279.6-yard bunker with a controlled iron or hybrid, leaving approximately 175-180 yards for your approach shot.

approach

The approach shot is critical on this par-4, as you'll likely be hitting a mid-iron into a relatively compact green measuring 4,736 square feet (38x30 yards) - precision over distance is key here.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunker positioned at 434.2 yards - any approach shot that runs long or is slightly mishit could find this hazard, making up-and-down challenging on Jack Nicklaus's demanding design.

green

With the green dimensions at 38 yards deep by 30 yards wide, club selection for your approach is crucial - aim for the center of this compact target rather than hunting pins, especially given the strategic bunkering around the green complex.
