From the tips, an inclined fairway then a sharp decline. Right side of the fairway closes in, and from the White tees, be aware that at 288yd from CG the fairway ends with light rough till 150yd from CG (no real concern as leaves chance to go for green in two). 300yd from CG in is all downhill. Second shots not going for green should play to the left side (only existing fairway) from 150-90yd from CG. Approach to a 24yd deep green. Small crown in the center green. Small mound at the middle back releases right into the extended back right corner.
