Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway for your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 45 yards at the 200-yard mark to 51 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Avoid the fairway bunkers positioned at 187 and 215 yards from the tee - these are perfectly placed to catch errant drives, so club selection and accuracy off the tee are crucial.

approach

With the green measuring 44 yards deep by 19 yards wide, precision is key on your approach shot - the narrow 19-yard width demands accurate distance control and proper club selection.

approach

Be aware of the greenside bunker positioned at 363.6 yards, which protects the putting surface - factor this hazard into your approach strategy, especially when pin positions are tight to that side.

green

The compact 4,164 square foot green rewards accurate approach shots - with limited surface area, focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than chasing tight pin positions.
