Strategy Tips

tee shot

With a generous fairway that maintains 80 yards of width at both 200 and 250 yards, you can be aggressive off the tee. Consider hitting driver to get closer to this 390-yard par 4 and leave yourself a shorter approach shot.

approach

The massive green measuring 33 yards by 54 yards (11,144 square feet) gives you plenty of room for error on your approach shot. Focus on finding the correct tier rather than pin-hunting, as this large putting surface likely has multiple levels.

tee shot

At 390 yards for a par 4, this is a very manageable length that allows for strategic options. Longer hitters can consider a controlled driver or 3-wood to leave a wedge approach, while shorter hitters can hit a comfortable tee shot knowing they'll still have a mid-iron into the green.

green

With such an expansive green (54 yards deep), pay close attention to pin position. A front pin versus back pin could mean the difference between a wedge and a 7-iron approach shot. Club selection should prioritize getting to the correct section of this large putting surface.

hazard warning

While no bunkers are identified around this hole, don't let the apparent simplicity fool you. At a links-style course like Sheep Ranch, natural contours, wind, and firm conditions will be your primary challenges rather than manufactured hazards.
