Target the center of the fairway for your tee shot, as the landing area widens significantly from 40 yards at the 200-yard mark to 51 yards at 250 yards. This gives longer hitters more room to work with if they can carry their drive past 200 yards.
Be aware of the bunker positioned at 242 yards from the tee. Driver may bring this hazard into play for longer hitters, so consider a 3-wood or hybrid to lay up short of this trouble and leave a comfortable approach shot.
Plan your approach to this substantial green measuring 31 yards by 33 yards. The generous green size of 5,530 square feet allows for aggressive pin-hunting, but be mindful of bunkers positioned at 395 and 373 yards that guard the green complex.
From a well-positioned tee shot at 250 yards, you'll have approximately 144 yards remaining to the pin on this 394-yard par 4. This mid-iron distance allows for precise club selection to attack specific pin positions on the large green.
With the green measuring 31 by 33 yards, there's ample room for recovery shots and putting from various angles. Use the generous green dimensions to your advantage by aiming for the center when pin positions are tucked behind the greenside bunkers.
This 394-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.
