Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 454-yard par 4 demands accuracy off the tee. Target the center of the fairway which widens from 46 yards at the 200-yard mark to 50 yards at 250 yards, giving longer hitters slightly more room to work with.

approach

With the green measuring 37 yards deep by 28 yards wide (5,133 sq ft), this is a relatively compact target for your approach shot. Club selection is critical - take one extra club to ensure you clear any front hazards and reach the putting surface.

hazard warning

Be aware of bunkers positioned at 290 yards and 437.5 yards from the tee. The bunker at 290 yards could catch aggressive drives, while the one at 437.5 yards is likely greenside and will punish short approach shots.

green

The green's dimensions of 37 yards deep by 28 yards wide create a rectangular target that favors precise distance control over lateral accuracy. Aim for the center of the green and let the pin position dictate any adjustments.
