Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 430-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee with the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver.

approach

From a well-positioned tee shot around 200 yards, you'll face a mid-iron approach to a compact green measuring just 3,366 square feet. The small target size requires precise distance control and club selection.

green

The green's rectangular dimensions of 20 yards by 27 yards create a relatively narrow target that rewards accuracy over distance. Aim for the center of the green and let your putting take over.
