Par 4 - 376 / 345 / 331 yds.

Tee Shot
Don't let nerves rush you — take a deep breath and pick a smart target. The fairway bends gently right and is narrower than it looks, pinched by trees right and bunkers left. Scratch/low handicap: a controlled driver down the right-center gives the best angle in. Low-mid handicap: 3-wood or long iron to keep it in play — left bunkers begin at 225 Blue (200 Gold / 190 White).  Shots at these distances leave ~150 yds. to the green. High handicap: There is plenty of room to miss it left, so use a club off the tee that has a better chance of going left. All players: The air is thicker on the Monterey Peninsula and your ball will have a tendency to fly 5-7 yards less. The wind normally comes off the ocean and should not really effect this tee shot.  CaddyTips® always recommends that the last couple of swings you take on the driving range should be practicing this tee shot and visualizing your success.
