Exercise extreme caution with driver selection - the fairway completely disappears at 250 yards, making accuracy more critical than distance on this demanding par 4.
Target your tee shot to the 200-yard mark where the fairway is only 12 yards wide - consider a 3-wood or hybrid to ensure you stay in the short grass.
Plan for a longer approach shot on this 391-yard hole - with conservative positioning off the tee, expect 170-190 yards remaining to a compact green.
Aim for the center of this small 3,920 square foot green measuring just 28x25 yards - missing this target will likely result in difficult up-and-down opportunities.
Be aware of bunkers positioned at 362.7 yards from the tee - while likely out of play for most golfers, longer hitters pushing for distance risk finding sand.
This 391-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
