Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 432-yard par 4 requires a strategic tee shot favoring the right side of the fairway to set up the ideal angle for approach. The fairway widens from 34 yards at 200 yards to 37 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters have slightly more room but must still be precise.

approach

The approach shot into this small 3,434 square foot green (28y x 23y) demands pinpoint accuracy. With three bunkers positioned at 420.0, 448.7, and 419.4 yards, club selection and distance control are critical to avoid these greenside hazards.

hazard warning

Beware of the bunker complex surrounding this green - with hazards at 419.4, 420.0, and 448.7 yards from the tee, missing the compact 28-yard wide green in any direction will likely find sand and require a delicate recovery shot.

green

The green measures just 28 yards by 23 yards, making it one of the smaller targets you'll face. Focus on hitting to the center of the green rather than attacking pins, as the margin for error is minimal on this 3,434 square foot putting surface.

tee shot

At 432 yards, this hole plays as a true two-shot par 4. Position your tee shot in the 34-yard wide fairway at the 200-yard mark to leave yourself with a manageable mid-iron approach into the well-protected green.
