Strategy Tips

tee shot

This short par-4 requires precision over distance. With the fairway measuring only 24 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, consider hitting a controlled iron or hybrid off the tee to ensure you stay in play rather than risking driver.

hazard warning

The fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, creating a critical layup situation. Any tee shot beyond 250 yards will find trouble, so club selection is crucial to stay short of this cutoff point.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 334.6 yards, they're likely greenside hazards that will come into play on your approach shot. Plan your tee shot to leave a comfortable wedge distance to avoid these bunkers.

green

The generous green measures 4,111 square feet (26x32 yards), giving you a large target for your approach. Use this to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking pins near the bunkers.

At only 332 yards total length, this hole rewards accuracy and course management. A 200-yard tee shot leaves you with a comfortable 132-yard approach to the large green, making par very achievable with smart play.
