Pro Tips

This short par 4 presents a somewhat daunting introductory test, as players must hit their tee shots over the club’s Audubon sanctuary, which hugs the entire left side of the fairway. The more water you take on and the closer you position your drive to the left side of the fairway, the shorter your approach shot to this slightly smaller-than-average green. Once in the fairway, this hole plays easier than most on the course. Just remember, the longer the club used for the approach shot, the more difficult it will be to hold this shallow putting surface.
