Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway narrows significantly from 57 yards wide at 200 yards to just 42 yards wide at 250 yards, making driver placement critical. Consider a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the wider landing area and avoid the squeeze.

hazard warning

Two bunkers guard the right side of the fairway at 196 and 211 yards from the tee. Favor the left center of the fairway with your tee shot to avoid these Donald Ross-designed hazards.

approach

At 355 yards total length, a well-positioned drive leaves a manageable short iron approach to a compact 4,994 square foot green. The green's modest 30x29 yard dimensions demand accuracy over distance.

green

The relatively small green measuring just 30 by 29 yards requires precise approach shots. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as Donald Ross greens typically feature subtle but challenging slopes.

tee shot

With a greenside bunker positioned at 305 yards, aggressive drivers who can carry 280+ yards need to be aware of potential trouble near the green. Club selection should account for total carry plus roll.
