Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway measuring only 12 yards wide at both 200 and 250 yards, accuracy is paramount off the tee. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than forcing a driver that could find trouble in the narrow landing zone.

approach

This 556-yard par 5 demands strategic positioning for your second shot. With bunkers positioned at 496 yards, lay up to around 100-120 yards from the green to avoid the sand and set up a comfortable wedge into the putting surface.

green

The green measures 30 yards by 28 yards with 5,248 square feet of putting surface, making it a relatively generous target. Aim for the center of the green on your approach shot to take advantage of this size and avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

approach
