Strategy Tips

tee shot

With the fairway maintaining a generous 61 yards of width at both the 200 and 250-yard marks, this Pete Dye design rewards aggressive driving. Most players should aim for the 250-yard area to set up the optimal approach angle, as the consistent fairway width provides confidence to swing freely.

approach

The approach shot into this 475-yard par 4 requires precision to a relatively small target - the green measures just 5,180 square feet (37x25 yards). Factor in the Pete Dye design philosophy of demanding accuracy, and club selection becomes critical for holding this compact putting surface.

hazard warning

Three strategic bunkers guard this hole at 383, 449, and 472 yards from the tee. The bunker at 383 yards can catch shorter drives, while the greenside bunkers at 449 and 472 yards frame the approach shot - typical of Pete Dye's 'subtle but devilish' design elements.

approach

From a 250-yard drive on this 475-yard hole, you're left with approximately 225 yards to a green that's only 25 yards deep. This long approach demands a high-trajectory shot to stop the ball on the compact putting surface - consider taking one more club to ensure you clear any front hazards.

green

The narrow 25-yard depth of this Pete Dye green means distance control is more critical than direction. With bunkers positioned at 449 and 472 yards, missing long could find trouble, making it essential to dial in your yardage and commit to the shot.
