Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the wider portion of the fairway at 250 yards to maximize your approach angle. The fairway expands significantly from 53 yards wide at 200 yards to 72 yards wide at 250 yards, giving longer hitters a substantial advantage.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 279.8, 350.3, and 370.1 yards from the tee. These hazards guard the approach area and green complex, requiring precise distance control on your second shot.

approach

Plan your approach to this 418-yard par 4 carefully. If you hit driver 250+ yards, you'll have a mid-iron into the green from the wider fairway section, giving you better angles to attack the pin.

green

The green measures 33 yards by 27 yards (5,010 sq ft), providing a reasonably sized target. Focus on hitting to the correct tier or section based on pin position, as this size allows for strategic approach shot placement.

tee shot

Conservative players should consider hitting 3-wood or hybrid to the 200-yard mark, accepting the narrower 53-yard fairway width in exchange for a safer tee shot and avoiding the longer bunkers that come into play with driver.
