Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway narrows significantly from 57 yards wide at 200 yards to just 42 yards wide at 250 yards, making club selection crucial. Consider a controlled fairway wood or long iron to stay in the wider landing area rather than forcing driver into the tighter section.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 275, 270, and 223 yards from the tee. The bunker at 223 yards is particularly dangerous for shorter hitters, while longer players must navigate the pair around 270-275 yards that can catch aggressive drives.

approach

From 382 yards total length, a well-positioned tee shot at 230-240 yards leaves a manageable 140-150 yard approach to a compact green measuring just 30 by 24 yards. Precision over power is key to this modestly-sized target.

green

The green's compact 4,287 square foot surface (30x24 yards) demands accurate approach shots. With Pete Dye's signature design elements, expect subtle breaks and firm conditions that reward shots landing in the correct section of this relatively small target.

tee shot

At 382 yards, this hole offers strategic options reminiscent of the famous 'Cathedral Spires' 9th hole. Consider laying up to the 200-yard mark where you have the full 57-yard width of fairway, leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach rather than risking the narrow 42-yard corridor further out.
