Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway with your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 29 yards at the 200-yard mark to 38 yards at 250 yards. This gives you more room to work with on longer drives while avoiding trouble on the left side.

approach

With greenside bunkers positioned at 391.1, 376.8, and 390.8 yards from the tee, your approach shot will need to carry these hazards to reach the putting surface. Plan for a mid-iron approach from the optimal driving distance.

green

The relatively compact green measures just 3,572 square feet (28 yards by 25 yards), making accuracy more important than distance on your approach. Focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

tee shot

At 394 yards total length, this hole rewards strategic positioning over pure distance. A controlled drive to the 220-240 yard range sets up an ideal approach angle while staying short of potential trouble.

hazard warning

Be aware that the bunkers clustered around 390 yards create a narrow entrance to the green. With the green being only 25 yards deep, precision is critical to avoid these greenside hazards.
