Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 361-yard par 4, as the fairway narrows significantly from 44 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 31 yards at 250 yards. A controlled drive of 200-220 yards will leave you in the widest part of the fairway for your approach.

approach

With greenside bunkers positioned at 371.2, 345.6, and 333.5 yards from the tee, your approach shot will need to carry the closest bunker at 333.5 yards. From a 200-yard tee shot, this leaves approximately 130-140 yards to clear the hazards and find the green.

green

The green measures 39 yards long by 25 yards wide (4,692 square feet), making it a moderately-sized target. Focus on the center of the green for your approach, as the rectangular shape provides good margin for error left and right.

hazard warning

Avoid the aggressive line off the tee beyond 250 yards, where the fairway pinches to only 31 yards wide. This narrow corridor, combined with bunkers starting at 333.5 yards, creates a high-risk scenario that could lead to trouble.

approach

The cluster of three bunkers (at 371.2y, 345.6y, and 333.5y) creates a defensive barrier around the green. Plan your approach to carry the nearest bunker at 333.5 yards while avoiding the longer bunkers that may catch slightly mishit shots.
