Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-left of the fairway on your tee shot, as the landing area widens from 40 yards at 200 yards to 44 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

approach

Plan your approach carefully to this compact 3,330 square foot green measuring just 19 yards by 28 yards - precision is more important than power on this relatively small target.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunker complex with sand positioned at 359.5, 380.2, and 390.7 yards from the tee - these will catch any approach shots that come up short or drift right of the pin.

tee shot

With the hole playing 425 yards, a solid drive of 200-250 yards will leave you with a manageable mid-iron approach, keeping you short of the greenside bunkers that begin around 360 yards.

green

The narrow 19-yard width of this green demands accurate approach shots - favor the center of the putting surface rather than attacking tight pin positions to avoid short-siding yourself.
