Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway with your tee shot, as the fairway narrows from 80 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 69 yards at 250 yards. A well-positioned drive around 220-240 yards will leave you in the optimal position for your approach.

hazard warning

Be aware of three strategic bunkers positioned at 276.9, 313.5, and 356.9 yards from the tee. The bunker at 276.9 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters who may catch it with an aggressive drive.

approach

From a well-positioned drive, you'll have approximately 120-160 yards remaining to a generous green measuring 8,586 square feet. The green's dimensions of 24 yards wide by 53 yards deep offer multiple pin positions and recovery options.

green

Take advantage of the green's substantial depth of 53 yards by being aggressive to front pins and more conservative to back positions. The large putting surface provides excellent birdie opportunities when you're in the right section.

tee shot

At 384 yards total length, this hole rewards strategic positioning over pure distance. Focus on accuracy to avoid the fairway bunkers and set up the best angle into the green rather than trying to overpower the hole.
