Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 454-yard par 4, aiming for the center-left of the fairway which measures 45 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. This strategic positioning sets up the best angle for your approach while avoiding the right side trouble.

approach

Plan for a demanding long-iron approach shot to this elevated green measuring 7,106 square feet. The uphill nature of this Donald Ross design requires taking at least one extra club, as the 250-yard climb tests your iron play precision.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker complex positioned at 255 yards from the tee. While this may not affect most tee shots, longer hitters need to account for this hazard when selecting their driving strategy and club choice.

approach

Target the generous dimensions of this green (38 yards long by 32 yards wide) by playing to the center rather than chasing difficult pin positions. Ross designed this hole to test long-iron accuracy, so prioritize finding the putting surface first.

tee shot

Notice how the fairway slightly tightens from 45 yards wide at 200 yards to 42 yards wide at 250 yards. This 3-yard narrowing means precision becomes increasingly important for longer drives, favoring accuracy over maximum distance.
