Strategy Tips

tee shot

This long par 4 demands precision off the tee with the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay in the short grass rather than risking driver into the narrow landing area.

approach

From 520 yards total length, even a well-positioned drive leaves a long approach shot. The compact green measuring just 24 yards wide requires precise distance control - club up and aim for the center rather than attacking pins.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 279.7 yards from the tee create a strategic decision point. A driver that carries 280+ yards risks finding sand, making course management crucial for longer hitters.

green

The green's modest 4,450 square feet makes it a challenging target for long approaches. Focus on two-putting from anywhere on the putting surface rather than getting aggressive with lengthy birdie attempts.

tee shot

With no defined landing zone marked at the tee, this hole requires you to create your own target based on the narrow fairway ahead. Pick a specific aiming point and commit to a controlled swing rather than trying to overpower this demanding hole.
