Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically widens from 24 yards at the 200-yard mark to 50 yards at 250 yards, so longer hitters should favor distance over precision to reach the generous landing area.

approach

With the green measuring only 25 yards wide by 37 yards deep and covering 5,400 square feet, precision is critical on your approach shot - club selection and accuracy are more important than distance.

hazard warning

Two greenside bunkers positioned at 462.5 and 449.7 yards from the tee guard the putting surface - avoid these by playing to the center of the green rather than attacking pins near the edges.

tee shot

Shorter hitters should focus on accuracy through the narrow 24-yard corridor at 200 yards, as missing the fairway here will leave a much more difficult approach to the compact green.

approach

At 457 yards total length, most players will have a mid-to-long iron approach shot into the 5,400 square foot green - take one extra club and swing smoothly for better control.
