- Overview
-
A par-4 with double fairways divided by a creek.
Plan & Play
A challenging hole featuring a double fairway and a large creek. A wide creek runs diagonally across and divides the fairway, making the left fairway the safer route, though it leaves a longer distance to the green. The left side sets up a three-on route, while the right side offers a two-on route, so long hitters are encouraged to aim for the right. If you are confident in your approach shots, it may be wiser to take the safe left route and aim to make your score with a solid third shot.
Tips
On the left fairway, a shot that travels too far may run through the fairway, so carefully consider your club selection. When hitting the second shot from the left side, a fair amount of distance will remain and it will require carrying over a bunker, so aiming safely for a three-on strategy is also a valid option. The green on the right fairway is a two-tier green, making the distance of the second shot extremely important. If the pin is on the lower tier, be sure to aim from the front. If the pin is on the upper tier, focus on carrying the ball firmly to the back.
