Strategy Tips

tee shot

This drivable par-4 offers a classic risk/reward decision at 330 yards. Long hitters can attempt to drive the green, but must carry bunkers positioned at 305, 322, and 328 yards - essentially guarding the entire green complex.

tee shot

For the conservative play, lay up to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 28 yards wide, giving you optimal position while avoiding all three greenside bunkers.

approach

If laying up, your approach shot from 130 yards will be into a generous green measuring 5,418 square feet (23y x 42y), making this a very makeable birdie opportunity with the prevailing downwind conditions.

hazard warning

The three bunkers clustered between 305-328 yards create a narrow window for going for the green. Any drive attempting to reach the putting surface must navigate this 23-yard gauntlet of sand.

tee shot

Aggressive players can take advantage of the wider 35-yard fairway at 250 yards to set up a shorter approach, but this leaves a more challenging angle over the greenside bunkers.
