At just 347 yards, this par 4 tempts big hitters to take driver, but the fairway narrows to only 26 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, making precision more valuable than raw distance. Consider a 3-wood or long iron to a spot short of the tightest section to keep the ball in play off the tee.
A bunker positioned at 180 yards off the tee catches shots that drift into the primary landing zone for shorter hitters or those laying up. Club selection should account for this hazard, favoring shots that either clear it or stay well short.
Longer hitters attempting to reach the green area or set up a short wedge approach must be wary of the second bunker at 311.2 yards, which threatens aggressive lines down the fairway. Given the fairway widens to 40 yards at 250 yards, playing to this area offers a safer angle while avoiding the driving bunker.
With the fairway opening to 40 yards wide at 250 yards, players who lay up to this distance gain a comfortable angle into the green, balancing safety with a manageable approach shot into the large putting surface.
The green is large (53 by 33 yards, 10,454 sq ft), offering generous room for approach shots to find the putting surface even if slightly off-target. Aim for the center of the green to leave manageable birdie putts, taking advantage of this expansive target while avoiding the flanking bunkers.
This 347-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.
