A straight drive is imperative to stay between overhanging branches in a chute only 30 yards wide, but the fairway opens in the landing area. Ideally placed on the right center of the fairway, a short or medium iron should reach a green slanting front to back and is protected by a front left bunker.
Hit the tee shot 250-260 yards from Blue to center the widest mapped first-shot window—approximately 36 yards across, leaving roughly 145 yards to green center.
Recon cue
Fairway first. Favor right-center and play the approach to the middle third.
