Strategy Tips

tee shot

This opening hole at The Bull offers a generous landing area with the fairway measuring 74 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, making it an ideal confidence-builder to start your round. Focus on finding the fairway center with a controlled swing rather than maximum distance.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 243 and 303 yards from the tee, most golfers will have a clear approach shot from around 150-100 yards to the green. The compact 4,684 square foot green (28x33 yards) demands precision, so focus on club selection and tempo rather than power.

tee shot

At only 353 yards, this par 4 doesn't require driver for most players. Consider hitting 3-wood or hybrid to position yourself in the optimal 100-150 yard approach range, staying well short of the bunker at 243 yards.

approach

The green's relatively small dimensions (28x33 yards) make pin hunting risky. Aim for the center of the green and let your putting do the work, especially early in the round when you're still finding your rhythm.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunker positioned at 295 yards - while most approach shots won't reach it, longer hitters who get aggressive off the tee need to account for this hazard when planning their strategy.
