Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically between the fairway bunkers at 178.7 and 206.2 yards. The fairway is a generous 60 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, giving you ample room to find the short grass while avoiding these classic Donald Ross hazards.

tee shot

Longer hitters should be aware of the bunker at 231.7 yards, but can take advantage of the fairway widening to 67 yards at the 250-yard mark. This gives bombers extra room to let loose while still staying clear of trouble.

approach

From a well-positioned drive, you'll face a mid-iron approach of roughly 150-180 yards to a compact green measuring just 4,932 square feet. Club selection and accuracy are paramount on this authentic Ross design.

green

The green's nearly square dimensions (28 yards by 27 yards) create deceptive pin positions. Ross greens are known for subtle slopes and false fronts, so take one extra club and aim for the center of this relatively small target.

hazard warning

The trio of fairway bunkers creates a strategic gauntlet typical of Ross's design philosophy. Missing your line could leave you with an awkward stance or blocked approach to the green from these well-placed hazards.
