Strategy Tips

tee shot

Despite being the shortest par-4 at Aronimink at only 393 yards, the tee shot requires precision as the fairway completely disappears at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee. This forces a strategic layup approach rather than an aggressive driver.

hazard warning

Three bunkers positioned at 157.8, 160.7, and 231.8 yards create a strategic challenge. While the first two can be cleared with a mid-iron, the bunker at 231.8 yards makes driver risky and demands course management.

tee shot

Play a controlled iron or hybrid to approximately 150-160 yards to stay short of the fairway bunkers and set up an optimal approach distance. This conservative strategy aligns with Ross's design philosophy of testing exceptional long-iron play.

approach

With a compact green measuring 36 by 38 yards and covering 6,810 square feet, precision is paramount on the approach shot. The relatively small target demands accurate club selection and committed execution.

green

The square-shaped green (36x38 yards) offers a generous target width, but requires careful pin position awareness. Focus on hitting to the center of the green to avoid trouble and ensure a makeable putt on this short par-4.
