Trees line both sides of the fairway, making a straight shot from the tee important. A large bunker guards the front of the green, with four more positioned to the right. A medium to short iron should get the job done, but the small green can be hard to hold. Par is a great score here.
Hit the tee shot 275-285 yards from Blue to center the widest mapped first-shot window—approximately 26 yards across, leaving roughly 132 yards to green center.
Recon cue
Choose control over ten extra yards. Front edge or center green is a good result.
