This 512-yard par 5 offers birdie opportunities with proper positioning. Aim for the center-right of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway widens from 41 yards at the 200-yard mark to a more generous 45 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.
Be aware of the fairway bunker positioned at 257 yards from the tee. Big hitters who can carry 250+ yards need to favor the left side of the fairway to avoid this hazard, or consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of trouble.
For your second shot, two greenside bunkers at 446 and 494 yards create a strategic decision point. The bunker at 446 yards guards the front-left approach, while the one at 494 yards protects the green's right side - plan your layup accordingly to avoid these hazards on your third shot.
The putting surface measures 20 yards by 30 yards (3,835 sq ft), making it a medium-sized target for approach shots. This gives you a reasonable margin for error on your third shot, but precise distance control is still crucial for birdie opportunities.
With bunkers positioned at 446 and 494 yards, most players should plan a conservative second shot to around 100-120 yards from the green, setting up a comfortable wedge for the third shot while staying clear of the greenside hazards.
This 512-yard par 5 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
