Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 482-yard par 4 demands accuracy over distance off the tee. With the fairway widening from 43 yards at 200 yards to 53 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters can take advantage of the extra room by carrying their drive past the 200-yard marker where the landing area opens up significantly.

approach

The approach shot is the key to scoring on this lengthy par 4. With bunkers positioned at 453.4, 444.1, and 429.5 yards from the tee, most golfers will face a mid to long iron approach over these greenside hazards to reach the relatively small 4,410 square foot putting surface.

green

The compact green measuring just 34 yards by 23 yards (4,410 sq ft) requires precise approach shots. Given the length of this hole, most players will be hitting mid to long irons into this target, making club selection and distance control critical for avoiding the surrounding bunkers.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the green complex, with the closest at 429.5 yards from the tee. These hazards will catch most approach shots that come up short, so take an extra club and focus on carrying these bunkers rather than trying to land short and roll up.

tee shot

Based on the web research noting a 'right-to-left sloping fairway' and bunkers on the left around 220 yards, aim for the right side of the fairway where you have 43 yards of width at the 200-yard mark. This positioning avoids the left-side trouble and sets up the best angle for your approach.
