Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee to avoid the narrow 23-yard fairway width at the 200-yard mark. Consider a 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the wide 80-yard fairway zone at 250 yards, giving you better positioning for your second shot on this 548-yard par 5.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 488.5, 511.8, and 537.2 yards, your second shot strategy depends on your driving distance. Longer hitters reaching the 250-yard zone should lay up short of the 488.5-yard bunker, while shorter hitters can be more aggressive with their second shot.

green

The green measures 29 yards by 34 yards with 4,502 square feet of putting surface - a generous target for your approach. Use this size to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunker complex with hazards at 511.8 and 537.2 yards. If going for the green in two, ensure you have enough club to clear the 537.2-yard bunker, as coming up short will leave a difficult sand shot.

approach

This 548-yard par 5 offers genuine birdie opportunities for players who navigate the narrow 23-yard corridor at 200 yards and position themselves in the generous 80-yard wide landing area at 250 yards for an optimal approach angle.
