Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway is extremely tight throughout this long par 4, measuring only 12 yards wide at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks. Accuracy is absolutely critical - consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to stay in play rather than risking driver.

approach

At 461 yards, this hole demands a strong second shot into a moderately-sized green measuring 4,603 square feet. Plan for a mid-to-long iron approach and focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 444 yards create a significant threat near the green. These greenside bunkers will catch any approach shots that come up short or drift offline, making distance control crucial on your second shot.

green

The green dimensions of 33 yards by 26 yards create a target that's deeper than it is wide. Use this to your advantage by playing to the fat part of the green and taking the width out of play.

tee shot

With the landing zone starting immediately from the tee and fairway width remaining constant at 12 yards throughout the driving zone, course management is key. Lay up to your most comfortable approach distance rather than trying to get as close as possible to the green.
