Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 21 yards wide at 200 yards to just 1 yard wide at 250 yards, making distance control critical off the tee. Aim for a controlled shot around 200-220 yards to stay in the widest part of the fairway.

hazard warning

Two strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 385.2 and 389.7 yards from the tee, positioned right where longer approach shots will land. Factor these into your club selection for the second shot.

approach

With the green measuring 24 yards by 30 yards (3,902 sq ft), you have a moderately-sized target for your approach. The compact dimensions require precise distance control, especially if pin positions are tucked.

tee shot

As part of Colonial's infamous 'Horrible Horseshoe' - one of golf's most challenging three-hole stretches - conservative positioning is key. Play to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is widest at 21 yards to set up the best approach angle.

approach

From 407 yards total length, your approach shot distance will depend on tee shot positioning. Avoid the bunkers at 385+ yards by taking enough club to clear them or laying up short if playing conservatively.
