Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par 4 demands precision over power - the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making driver a risky play that could find trouble.

tee shot

Target your tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway offers a manageable 24-yard landing area, setting up an ideal approach distance.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 188 yards create a strategic decision point - lay up short with a mid-iron or carry them with a longer club for better approach angle.

approach

From the ideal 200-yard tee shot position, you'll have approximately 140 yards into a generous green measuring 26x33 yards - perfect wedge or short iron distance.

green

The large 5,164 square foot green provides plenty of target area, so focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking difficult pin positions.
