This dogleg right par 4 offers generous landing areas with the fairway expanding from 53 yards wide at 200 yards to 74 yards wide at 250 yards. Longer hitters can take advantage of the wider fairway by carrying their drive 250+ yards to set up a shorter approach.
The approach shot is critical on this 416-yard hole, as you'll be hitting into a moderately-sized green measuring 44 yards deep by 26 yards wide (5,610 sq ft). Club selection must account for the pond wrapping around the right side of the fairway.
Beware of the strategic bunker placement with hazards positioned at 274, 332, and 393 yards from the tee. The bunker at 274 yards can catch shorter drives, while the one at 393 yards guards the green approach.
With 5 bunkers surrounding the green and its compact 26-yard width, precision is paramount on your approach. The green's 44-yard depth provides some margin for error front-to-back, but lateral misses will likely find sand.
Conservative players should aim for the 200-yard mark where the fairway is 53 yards wide, avoiding the early bunker at 274 yards while still leaving a manageable approach of around 216 yards to the green.
This 416-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.
