The white tee is
at 364 yards, which makes a long hole for many retired folks.
The length is accentuated by a pond in front of the green, so a
lay up is needed which takes away yards from a second shot.
An ideal lay up leaves about 70 yards for an easy pitch to the
green. The top of a knoll in front of the pond is at 55
yards to the center of the green -- anything farther rolls into
the pond.
The wide fairway
provides an easy tee shot target. Severely errant balls to the left
go into another pond along side the fairway. Modest
hitters must be concerned with the trees on the right, but
young bucks just go over these. The red tee is at 330 yards,
making second-shot approaches to the green possible. The
black tee is about even with the first clump of trees on the
right, so a good tee shot gives a short iron approach shot, much
the same as the young bucks get with a booming drive from the
white or blue tee.
