Strategy Tips

tee shot

At 184 yards, this is a demanding mid-iron shot that requires precise distance control. The compact 3,167 square foot green (32y x 30y) leaves little margin for error, so club selection is critical - take one extra club to ensure you clear any front hazards.

green

The green's modest 32-yard depth creates a challenging target, especially when the pin is positioned on the ridge. As Mike Strantz designed it, any ball traveling just a foot too far will run down the back slope, making distance control more important than direction.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 114.4 yards from the tee serve as visual intimidation but shouldn't affect your shot selection. Focus on the green target rather than these shorter hazards that are well out of play for your approach.

approach

With the green measuring only 30 yards wide, lateral accuracy is just as crucial as distance. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position to maximize your margin for error on this acclaimed hole.

green

The 3,167 square foot putting surface may seem generous, but the ridge feature creates distinct sections. When the pin is on top of the ridge, play conservatively to the front portion to avoid the severe back slope runoff.
