Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the wider portion of the fairway at 250 yards where it opens to 34 yards wide, rather than laying up to the narrower 24-yard section at 200 yards. This requires a 250+ yard drive but provides better angles and room for error.

approach

With the green measuring only 23 by 28 yards (3,368 sq ft), precision is paramount on your approach shot. This compact target demands accurate club selection and committed swings - there's little margin for error on this small putting surface.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green complex at 431.7, 424.8, and 289.6 yards from the tee. The forward bunker at 289.6 yards is particularly dangerous for longer hitters who push their drives, while the greenside bunkers at 431.7 and 424.8 yards frame your approach shot target.

tee shot

At 448 yards, this par-4 demands a strategic tee shot. Consider laying back to avoid the forward bunker at 289.6 yards, leaving yourself a longer but safer approach to the elevated green rather than risking trouble with an aggressive drive.

approach

The green's compact 28-yard depth means distance control is critical. With an elevated target, take one extra club and make a smooth swing to ensure you carry to the putting surface and avoid coming up short in the greenside bunkers.
