Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, so club down to ensure you stay in play. With the fairway measuring 32 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, a controlled tee shot with a 3-wood or hybrid will leave you perfectly positioned for your approach.

approach

From the ideal 200-yard position, you'll face a mid to long iron into this compact green measuring just 23 by 25 yards. The small target demands precision over power - focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone between 351-379 yards from the tee. If you're long enough to reach this area, these hazards will be directly in your landing zone for aggressive tee shots, making course management crucial.

green

With only 3,589 square feet of putting surface, this green is significantly smaller than average. The compact size means any approach shot needs to be dead accurate - even a well-struck shot can easily run off this tight target.

tee shot

This 372-yard par-4 rewards strategic play over distance. With no viable landing zone beyond 250 yards, the hole demands you lay back to the 200-yard area where the fairway provides a comfortable 32-yard target.
