Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents an extremely challenging layout with no traditional fairway - bunkers are positioned at 195.5, 357, and 379 yards, creating a minefield that demands precise navigation and strategic thinking.

tee shot

With bunkers starting at 195.5 yards and no defined landing zone, consider laying up with a mid-iron or hybrid to stay short of trouble, leaving a longer but safer approach to the green.

approach

From a conservative tee shot position, you'll face a challenging approach of 200+ yards to a compact green measuring just 27 by 28 yards - club selection and accuracy are paramount on this Mike Strantz design.

green

The green's modest 3,855 square feet provides a small target for approach shots - focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, especially given the challenging approach conditions.

hazard warning

Advanced players attempting to reach the bunkers at 357-379 yards must execute perfect drives, as any miss will likely find sand or worse trouble in this architect's demanding design.
