Strategy Tips

hazard warning

This hole presents an extreme strategic challenge with zero fairway width at the 200-yard mark, creating a complete bottleneck that demands precise course management and likely requires laying up short of this pinch point.

tee shot

Consider a conservative tee shot with a mid-iron or hybrid to position yourself short of the 200-yard bottleneck, then use the expanded 68-yard fairway width at 250 yards for your second shot approach.

approach

Plan for a long approach shot into this 532-yard par 4, as the strategic layup will leave you with approximately 280+ yards to a relatively compact green measuring just 29 yards by 33 yards.

green

Target the center of the 4,632 square foot green rather than attacking pins, as the modest 29x33 yard dimensions require precision on your long approach shot to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Be aware of greenside bunkers positioned at 492.5, 529.9, and 535.3 yards from the tee - these guard the green complex and punish aggressive approaches that miss the putting surface.
