Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center-right of the fairway on your tee shot, as the fairway widens significantly from 50 yards at the 200-yard mark to 63 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker positioned at 195.2 yards from the tee - shorter hitters should consider laying up short of this hazard, while longer players can carry it to reach the wider portion of the fairway.

approach

Plan your approach carefully around the greenside bunker at 262.5 yards from the tee, which sits close to this compact 5,064 square foot green - precision is key on this Pete Dye design.

approach

The green measures just 33 yards by 29 yards, making it a relatively small target for a 402-yard par 4 - focus on hitting the correct portion of the green based on pin position rather than attacking every flag.

tee shot

At 402 yards, this hole requires strategic positioning off the tee - consider a controlled tee shot to the 200-250 yard range to set up the best angle into the small green while avoiding the fairway bunker at 195.2 yards.
