Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway opens up significantly past the 200-yard mark, expanding from 26 yards to 44 yards at 250 yards. This rewards an aggressive tee shot for longer hitters who can carry their drive beyond 200 yards to access the wider landing area.

approach

Three greenside bunkers positioned at 357, 369, and 379 yards create a defensive wall around this compact 2,998 square foot green. Club selection is critical - favor the center of the green rather than attacking pins near these hazards.

green

The renovated green measures just 22 by 30 yards, making it one of the smaller targets on the course. After Hanse's redesign brought water tightly around both sides, precision trumps distance on your approach shot.

hazard warning

With water now guarding both left and right sides of the green following the recent renovation, any approach shot that misses the narrow 22-yard width of the putting surface faces a potential water penalty.

tee shot

At 387 yards, this hole plays shorter than many par 4s, but the narrow 26-yard fairway at 200 yards demands accuracy over distance. Consider a controlled tee shot to stay in the fairway rather than risking the tight landing area.
