Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway on your tee shot, as the landing area narrows from 59 yards wide at the 200-yard mark to just 53 yards at 250 yards. This positioning sets up the best angle for your second shot while avoiding the fairway squeeze.

approach

Plan your second shot carefully on this 571-yard par 5 - most players will need to lay up short of the greenside bunkers positioned at 502, 515, and 532 yards from the tee. Aim for the 480-490 yard range to leave a comfortable wedge into the green.

hazard warning

Be extremely cautious of the three bunkers guarding the green complex at 502, 515, and 532 yards from the tee. These hazards create a narrow corridor for aggressive second shots, making course management crucial on this finishing hole.

green

The relatively compact green measuring 32 yards by 20 yards (4,280 square feet) demands precision on your approach shot. Focus on hitting to the correct tier and leaving yourself below the hole, as this Mike Strantz design likely features subtle undulations.

approach

Given the narrow fairway at 250 yards (53 yards wide) and the strategic bunker placement, consider playing this hole as a three-shot par 5. Hit driver to the 240-yard range, then a controlled iron to 100 yards, setting up a scoring opportunity on Caledonia's most beloved finishing hole.
