This short par-4 offers excellent scoring opportunities with smart club selection off the tee. At only 347 yards total, consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to position your ball around 200 yards from the tee, where the fairway is a generous 49 yards wide, leaving you with a comfortable wedge approach.
The green measures 32 yards by 29 yards (4,737 sq ft), making it a relatively small target that demands precision on your approach shot. From the ideal tee shot position at 200 yards out, you'll have roughly 147 yards to the pin, perfect for a controlled 7 or 8-iron depending on conditions.
Three strategically placed bunkers guard this hole at 226, 340, and 353 yards from the tee. The bunker at 226 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters who try to drive aggressively, while the greenside bunkers at 340 and 353 yards will catch any wayward approach shots.
Longer hitters should resist the temptation to bomb driver on this reachable par-4. The fairway tightens from 49 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 45 yards wide at 250 yards, and there's a bunker lurking at 226 yards that will catch aggressive drives.
With the compact green size of 4,737 square feet, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins. The relatively small target means even slight misses can find trouble, so prioritize getting your approach shot on the putting surface for a stress-free two-putt par.
This 347-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
