approach

With the green measuring 8,433 square feet (39y x 45y), you have a large target for your approach shot, but club selection is crucial from the remaining yardage after your drive strategy.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard the approach at 239.5, 272.1, and 283.3 yards from the tee - the closer bunker at 239.5 yards is perfectly positioned to catch conservative tee shots, while the farther bunkers threaten longer drives.

tee shot

At only 359 yards total length, this hole tempts longer hitters to go for the green, but the bunker at 283.3 yards means a 280+ yard drive brings serious risk into play.
