Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway offers a generous 42-yard width at the 250-yard mark, so favor a driver or 3-wood off the tee to maximize distance and set up a shorter approach on this 405-yard par 4.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 399.4 yards sit just short of the green, so club selection on your approach must account for carrying this hazard, especially if your drive leaves a longer second shot.

approach

With the green measuring only 4,458 sq ft and classified as small (37y x 20y), precision on the approach is critical—prioritize accuracy over distance to avoid missing this compact target.

green

Given the green's small category and narrow 20-yard depth, take one extra club to ensure you don't come up short into the tightly guarded putting surface, particularly with bunkers looming at 399.4 yards.

tee shot

On this 405-yard par 4, a well-placed tee shot leveraging the 42-yard fairway width at 250 yards sets up a manageable approach into the small 37y x 20y green, making accuracy off the tee just as valuable as distance.
