This hole presents a significant challenge with no measurable fairway width at both the 200-yard and 250-yard marks, indicating extremely tight playing corridors or potential forced carries that demand precision off the tee.
With bunkers positioned at 290, 303, and 309 yards from the tee, longer hitters need to carefully consider club selection to avoid these hazards while still leaving a manageable approach to this 485-yard par 4.
The approach shot will likely be from around 200+ yards given the hole's 485-yard length, requiring a mid to long iron into a relatively compact green measuring just 5,092 square feet.
The green's nearly square dimensions of 31 by 33 yards provide a reasonable target size, but precision is still key given the length of the likely approach shot on this challenging par 4.
This 485-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.
