The drive requires a water-carry to a very wide and receptive fairway. The optimal line is left-center, which will bring the "stair-step" fairway bunkers into play, but avoids a blind approach shot. Pay attention to the pin location relative to the large Elm tree in the distance as you exit the tees. This relatively small green has a swale bisecting it, lengthwise, which actually makes an approach from the right much more desirable. The front is receptive, with a "funnel" about ten paces short. Shots hit over the green or short-sided result in a nearly impossible par recovery. |
