Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This is an island green hole with water surrounding the target - there is no fairway at traditional landing zones, confirming this requires a direct approach over water to the green.

approach

Plan for a short iron approach shot to the compact 3,944 square foot green (22y x 35y) - club selection and accuracy are critical with water surrounding the target.

tee shot

With no traditional landing zone available, this 395-yard par-4 requires strategic positioning for your approach - focus on leaving yourself the most comfortable yardage for your short iron over water.

green

Avoid the pot bunker guarding the front edge - with the green measuring only 22 yards wide by 35 yards deep, precision is essential for finding the putting surface.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 365 and 401 yards are likely greenside hazards - combined with water, these create a demanding target that punishes any miss around the green.
