This lengthy par-4 requires a strategic tee shot placement. The fairway opens up significantly as you advance - measuring just 33 yards wide at the 200-yard mark but expanding to 47 yards wide at 250 yards. Longer hitters should consider taking an aggressive line to reach the wider landing area.
At 504 yards, this hole will likely require a mid-to-long iron approach for most players. The green measures 39 yards deep by 22 yards wide, providing a reasonable target size, but precision is key given the length of the approach shot.
Three bunkers guard the hole at distances of 455, 472, and 510 yards from the tee. The bunker at 510 yards is particularly dangerous as it sits very close to or potentially greenside, making it a major hazard for approach shots that come up short.
The green's 5,791 square feet provides ample putting surface, but its rectangular shape (39y x 22y) means pin position will be crucial. Focus on hitting to the correct tier or section of this sizeable green to avoid lengthy lag putts.
Consider the risk-reward of your tee shot carefully. While the fairway widens from 33 to 47 yards between the 200 and 250-yard marks, you must weigh the benefit of a shorter approach against the precision required to find the narrower initial landing area.
This 504-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
