From the championship tees, this hole measures 437 yards and has a handicap of 11, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The fairway is approximately 73 yards wide, providing some room for error off the tee.

The green area on this hole is quite large at 14832 square feet, but only has one greenside bunker which accounts for less than 1% of total bunkers on the hole. This means that accuracy and distance control will be key when approaching this green.
In terms of strategy for approach shots, our golfer should consider using their pitching wedge from about 120 yards out or their seven iron from around 140 yards out depending on pin placement and weather conditions. Speaking of weather conditions, being located in West Linn, Oregon means that golfers can expect cool temperatures year-round with potential wind gusts due to its location near the Columbia River Gorge.
