Strategy Tips

tee shot

The tee shot requires precision as the fairway dramatically narrows to just 7 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. Consider laying up with a mid-iron to stay short of this pinch point and leave a comfortable approach distance.

approach

For longer hitters who can carry the narrow section, the fairway opens up significantly to 40 yards wide at 250 yards, providing an ideal landing area for aggressive drives that leave only a short iron approach to this 370-yard hole.

hazard warning

Three strategically placed bunkers guard the approach at 284, 310, and 382 yards from the tee. The bunker at 310 yards is particularly dangerous for aggressive tee shots, while the greenside bunker at 382 yards can catch approach shots that are slightly long.

green

The elevated green measures 34 yards deep by 26 yards wide (4,853 sq ft), favoring high approach shots that can hold this raised putting surface. Club up to ensure you reach the green, as shots coming up short will roll back down the slope.

approach

At 370 yards total length, this par 4 rewards course management over pure distance. A conservative 180-yard tee shot leaves a manageable 190-yard approach from the wider section of fairway, avoiding the risk of finding the narrow 7-yard corridor.
