Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot carefully on this 398-yard par 4, as the fairway narrows significantly from 73 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 64 yards at 250 yards. Favor the left side of the fairway to avoid the bunker positioned at 270.3 yards on the right.

hazard warning

Be aware of the strategic bunker placement with hazards at 188.9, 270.3, and 285.7 yards from the tee. The bunker at 285.7 yards will catch aggressive drives, so consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble.

approach

With the green measuring a compact 18 yards by 26 yards (2,798 square feet), precision is crucial on your approach shot. This smaller target demands accurate club selection and committed swings, especially given Mike Strantz's reputation for challenging green complexes.

tee shot

The fairway's generous 73-yard width at 200 yards allows for strategic positioning. Consider a controlled tee shot to this distance, leaving yourself a mid-iron approach while avoiding the narrower 64-yard corridor at 250 yards where accuracy becomes more critical.

green

The relatively small green dimensions of 18 by 26 yards make pin hunting risky. Focus on hitting to the center of the green and rely on your putting rather than forcing aggressive approaches that could find the trouble surrounding this compact target.
