Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway expanding from 60 yards at 200 yards to 80 yards at 250 yards, longer hitters should favor driver to take advantage of the wider landing area and set up a shorter approach to this challenging finishing hole.

hazard warning

Beware of the strategically placed bunker at 292.3 yards - aggressive drives that carry too far will find sand, leaving a difficult recovery shot to the green.

approach

From the ideal driving distance, you'll face approximately a 120-140 yard approach to a substantial green measuring 7,595 square feet - use the green's generous size to aim for the center and avoid short-siding yourself.

green

The green's impressive dimensions of 26 yards by 58 yards provide ample target area, but pin position will be crucial - with such a large putting surface, club selection must account for potential 30+ yard differences in hole location.

hazard warning

The greenside bunker positioned at 400.9 yards from the tee guards the putting surface - ensure your approach shot carries this hazard, as it's perfectly placed to catch under-clubbed shots on this 414-yard finishing hole.
