Strategy Tips

tee shot

Position your tee shot strategically to take advantage of the fairway's expansion - while it's 48 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, it opens up significantly to 66 yards wide at 250 yards, giving longer hitters more room to work with.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker cluster positioned around 260-310 yards from the tee - with hazards at 261, 272, and 307 yards, this creates a significant challenge for your second shot layup area on this 550-yard par 5.

approach

Consider laying up short of the bunker complex around 250 yards to leave yourself a comfortable wedge into the green, rather than risking the hazards that guard the typical second shot landing zone.

green

The compact 3,700 square foot green (29 x 25 yards) demands precision on your approach shot - this relatively small target for a par 5 requires accurate distance control and proper club selection.

approach

At 550 yards, this par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but the bunkers positioned at 307 yards create a risk-reward decision - going for it requires carrying the final hazard to reach the green in regulation.
