Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver.

approach

After navigating the narrow fairway, you'll face bunkers positioned at 307 yards - well within approach shot range. Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable distance that avoids these hazards.

green

The green measures 19 yards by 24 yards (2,644 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target. Aim for the center of the green rather than attacking pins, especially with the narrow fairway limiting your approach angles.

hazard warning

This 410-yard par 4 demands precision over power. The extremely narrow 12-yard fairway corridors at key distances mean even slight misses will find trouble, making course management crucial.

tee shot

With no designated landing zone marked from the tee, focus on the 200-yard mark where the fairway is just 12 yards wide. A well-struck iron or hybrid to this distance sets up a manageable approach while avoiding the fairway squeeze.
