Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the generous fairway which maintains 80 yards of width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. This consistent width allows you to play aggressively with driver while still having room for error on this 426-yard par 4.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 267 yards from the tee - this sits right in the prime landing zone for longer hitters. Consider laying up with a 3-wood or hybrid to stay short of this hazard while still leaving a manageable approach.

approach

The approach shot plays to one of the largest greens on the course at 14,788 square feet (47 yards by 62 yards). This generous target allows you to be aggressive with your second shot, especially from the 150-180 yard range after a conservative tee shot.

hazard warning

Two additional bunkers guard the green area at 307 and 449 yards from the tee. The bunker at 307 yards is particularly relevant for approach shots, so factor this into your club selection and target selection on the large green.

green

With the green measuring 47 yards wide by 62 yards deep, pin position becomes crucial for scoring. The massive putting surface means you can still have long putts even when hitting the green, so prioritize getting below the hole when possible.
