Strategy Tips

tee shot

Play conservatively off the tee with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of the fairway bunkers. The fairway maintains a generous 51-yard width at both 200 and 250 yards, but bunkers positioned at 319 yards make driver risky on this 396-yard hole.

approach

Your approach shot will be the defining moment - expect a mid-iron carry over water to a relatively small green measuring just 4,445 square feet. The green's narrow 22-yard width demands precise distance control and accurate line.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned just 103 yards from the green - this hazard can catch mishit approach shots that come up short of the water carry, creating an even more difficult up-and-down situation.

approach

With the green measuring 35 yards deep, club selection is critical for this water carry. Take one extra club to ensure you clear the hazard, as the penalty for coming up short is severe on this signature finishing hole.

green

The compact 22-yard width of the green means lateral misses will likely find trouble. Focus on the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions, especially with spectators potentially watching from the clubhouse.
