Challenging

This 395-yard straight hole appears inviting from the tee, offering golfers a generous fairway corridor through the coastal landscape.

The absence of major hazards shifts focus entirely to course management and green reading skills.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 80 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, focus on accuracy over distance. A controlled drive to the 200-yard mark leaves you in the widest part of the fairway with excellent positioning for your approach.

approach

From 200 yards out, you'll have approximately 195 yards remaining to a large green measuring 9,301 square feet. This gives you room to be aggressive with a mid-iron approach, as the generous green size provides a good margin for error.

tee shot

Longer hitters can take advantage of the consistent 80-yard fairway width at 250 yards, but ensure you have enough club control to find the fairway. A 250-yard drive leaves only 145 yards to the pin on this 395-yard par 4.

green

The green's nearly square dimensions (40 x 41 yards) mean pin position will significantly affect your approach strategy. With over 9,000 square feet to work with, focus on getting your approach shot to the correct tier or section of the green.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 421 yards - well beyond the green on this 395-yard hole. While not in play for approach shots, these may indicate the hole's design philosophy and potential trouble areas around the green complex.
