Strategy Tips

tee shot

From the dramatically elevated tee box (100 feet above the fairway), aim for the generous landing area that widens to 69 yards at the 250-yard mark. The elevated position provides excellent visibility to plan your strategy around the fairway bunkers.

hazard warning

Navigate carefully around three strategically placed fairway bunkers at 194.9, 220.2, and 248.5 yards. The middle bunker at 220 yards is particularly penal for moderate hitters, so consider laying up short or bombing it past all three hazards.

tee shot

The fairway significantly narrows to just 42 yards at the 200-yard mark before opening up again. Big hitters should consider driver to carry the bunkers and reach the wider 69-yard section at 250 yards for an easier approach.

approach

With 403 total yards and the elevated tee advantage, most players will have a mid-to-short iron into the substantial 4,870 square foot green. The green's generous size (30x32 yards) allows for aggressive pin-seeking on this 'Made in Heaven' hole.

green

The large 30-yard by 32-yard green provides ample target area for approach shots, but be aware of the river that parallels the right side. Favor the left side of this generous putting surface for the safest play.
