Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway with your tee shot to avoid the narrow 37-yard landing zone at 200 yards. The fairway widens to 40 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters have more room to work with if they can carry it past the 200-yard squeeze point.

approach

Be aware of the greenside bunker positioned at 430.9 yards - this will come into play on your second shot if you're going for the green in two, or as a layup consideration if playing conservatively to set up a wedge third shot.

approach

Two bunkers guard the green area at 513.9 and 524.3 yards, making accuracy crucial on approach shots. Consider laying up short of these hazards if you're not confident in your long iron or hybrid accuracy from 120-140 yards out.

green

The compact 2,164 square foot green (29 yards deep by 16 yards wide) demands precise approach shots. This relatively small target for a par 5 means even good approach shots can run off the putting surface if not properly controlled.

hazard warning

At 553 yards, this par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the risk-reward calculation heavily favors accuracy over distance due to the narrow fairway corridors and multiple greenside bunkers protecting scoring opportunities.
