Challenging

The absence of major hazards allows golfers to focus purely on execution and course management.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the right side of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area widens significantly from 33 yards at the 200-yard mark to 43 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 242 and 338 yards - if you're hitting driver and carrying 240+ yards, you'll need precise placement to avoid the sand.

approach

With bunkers flanking the green at 335 and 338 yards, your approach shot needs to be accurate to a relatively compact green measuring just 32 yards by 27 yards.

tee shot

At 390 yards total length, consider laying up to the 200-yard mark with a 5-iron or hybrid to stay in the narrower but safer part of the fairway, leaving a comfortable wedge approach.

green

The green's modest size of 4,408 square feet rewards precision over power - focus on hitting the correct tier rather than attacking every pin position.
