This appears to be a challenging hole with no traditional fairway landing zones measured - the fairway width shows 0 yards at both 200 and 250 yards, suggesting either a very narrow corridor or specialty design that demands precise placement off the tee.
At 393 yards, this par 4 requires strategic positioning rather than maximum distance. Focus on accuracy over power to navigate what appears to be a constrained driving area, typical of Donald Ross's emphasis on precision.
Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 357.9, 360.2, and 379.8 yards from the tee - these are positioned right around typical approach shot distances, so club selection and accuracy are critical for your second shot.
The green measures 5,462 square feet (34x32 yards), providing a reasonably sized target. However, Donald Ross greens typically feature subtle slopes and contours, so pin position will greatly influence your approach strategy.
With bunkers positioned between 358-380 yards from the tee, most golfers will face a second shot over or around these hazards. Consider laying back on your tee shot to leave a full wedge or short iron rather than risking a difficult bunker carry.
This 393-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
