Strategy Tips

tee shot

Exercise extreme caution off the tee as the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards - lay up with a mid-iron or hybrid to stay short of trouble and maintain position for your approach shot.

tee shot

Target the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - precision is critical as missing this narrow landing area will leave you in serious trouble for your approach.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 222 yards from the tee - if you're hitting driver or 3-wood, these sand traps are directly in your aggressive line and must be factored into club selection.

approach

Plan for a longer approach shot on this 342-yard par 4 - with conservative positioning off the tee, expect 140-160 yard approaches to a reasonably sized target.

green

The green measures 18 by 30 yards (3,304 sq ft), providing a decent target for mid-iron approaches - focus on hitting the correct tier as the rectangular shape suggests potential elevation changes.
