Strategy Tips

tee shot

This appears to be an extremely demanding tee shot with no traditional fairway landing area. The fairway measures 0 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, suggesting you must either lay up short or carry a significant hazard to find the fairway beyond these distances.

hazard warning

Two bunkers positioned at 229.4 and 254.7 yards from the tee create a strategic gauntlet. These hazards likely guard the only playable areas on this hole, requiring precise distance control and accuracy to navigate successfully.

approach

With the hole playing 419 yards to a relatively compact green of 4,513 square feet, your approach strategy will be dictated by how you navigate the tee shot challenges. Plan for a longer approach shot if you play conservatively off the tee.

green

The green measures 23 yards by 33 yards, providing a reasonably sized target for your approach. Given Caledonia's reputation for 'quick greens that challenge even the most seasoned player,' focus on getting your approach shot below the hole for easier uphill putts.

tee shot

The landing zone being marked at 0 yards from the tee confirms this hole requires either a precise layup strategy or a heroic carry. Consider playing this as a strategic three-shot hole rather than forcing a risky play that could lead to penalty strokes.
