Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 46 yards of width at both 200 and 250 yards, focus on positioning your drive in the right-center of the fairway to set up the ideal angle for this dogleg right finishing hole. Avoid the bunker at 272 yards by keeping your tee shot under 260 yards if you're prone to draws or hooks.

approach

This uphill 436-yard par 4 plays every inch of its length, so expect to hit one more club than the yardage suggests for your approach shot. With bunkers guarding the green at 405 and 420.6 yards, precise distance control is crucial on this demanding finishing hole.

green

The large green measuring 8,825 square feet (41 yards by 37 yards) provides a generous target, but pin position will dictate your strategy. Aim for the center of this expansive putting surface to avoid the greenside bunkers and give yourself the best chance for par on this challenging closer.

hazard warning
