The fairway actually widens to 64 yards at 250 yards, giving you more room for positioning your approach shot - use this extra width to attack pin positions on the generous 6,418 square foot green.
The substantial green measuring 33 yards by 32 yards provides multiple pin positions and recovery options - don't be afraid to be aggressive with your approach as the large target offers forgiveness for slight misses.
