Strategy Tips

tee shot

This drivable par-4 demands precision over power. With bunkers positioned at 82 and 204 yards, consider laying up with a mid-iron to the generous 55-yard-wide fairway at 200 yards to avoid trouble and set up an ideal approach angle.

tee shot

Aggressive players can challenge the pin at 293 yards, but must navigate the bunker at 270 yards that guards the approach to the massive 8,474 square foot green - risk/reward at its finest on this 'heaven on earth' hole.

approach

If laying up, position your tee shot around 200 yards to take advantage of the widest part of the fairway at 55 yards, leaving a comfortable wedge into the expansive 42x46 yard green.

hazard warning

The bunker at 204 yards sits in the prime landing zone - anything longer than a 5-iron off the tee risks finding sand and compromising your approach to this strategic masterpiece by King Collins Dormer.

green

With 8,474 square feet of putting surface, this green rewards aggressive play - even slightly offline approaches have room to work with on this generous target that defines shot-making strategy.
