Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents a significant strategic challenge as there is no traditional fairway landing area - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee, indicating either a forced carry or alternative routing strategy typical of Donald Ross designs.

tee shot

With no conventional landing zone from the tee (0 yards measured), this hole likely requires a precise tee shot to a specific target area or island fairway. Study the hole layout carefully and consider club selection that ensures accuracy over distance.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard the hole at 233.5, 256.0, and 273.6 yards from the tee. The middle bunker at 256 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters, so consider laying up short of 233 yards or carrying all the way past 274 yards.

approach

At 412 yards total length with bunkers positioned in the 230-270 yard range, most golfers will face a mid to long iron approach shot. The generous green size of 6,936 square feet (30x38 yards) provides a good target, so focus on finding the correct level of this likely multi-tiered Ross green.

green

The substantial green measuring 30 by 38 yards offers multiple pin positions but likely features Donald Ross's signature slopes and false fronts. With the approach distance from a strategic layup position, prioritize getting below the hole on this large putting surface.
