Now playing across the drive, you have two majestic trees to navigate on 18. Lefties can hyzer out and around the arching branch of the nearest, while righties have to decide between a long anny or whether they have the accuracy to gun through the middle of that arch (that's what I try)

Pretty steeply downhill, this hole plays shorter, but has a pretty tree-guarded basket position. If you can get, say a mid or putter to glide straight down there and park on the right side about pin 'high' or slightly past, it's an easy deuce. If your shot has a strong finishing fade, there's an ace chance here, too.

Blind left to right, the challenges on 16 start with a slightly upsloping tee pad, a tight-ish lane to get out to the clearing, and a tree guarded green off to the right. For me (rhbh) a River seems to do the trick (turns right and glides for me).

Split fairway uphill shortie, where I have almost never seen anyone try the line to the right. The left to right approach can be managed lhbh or rhfh, but I am 99.9% rhbh, so I float a big turnover (anny) Comet up there for the ace/deuce run.

This uphill hole plays a lot longer than it looks, because of the significant upslope once you cross the meadow. I don't have a big arm, so it's driver for me, and I try to stay to the middle or slightly right, as the trees are thickest on the left.

Tip #6
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#13
A challenging, blind, left to right, downhill hole, 13 tends to back up in tourneys, as it takes real precision to garner a three, and real skill to deuce. You need to tee off under control to get between the two small trees in the wooded end of the fairway, have your disc turn to the right, and hopefully finish in the lane at the end of the meadow that runs about 30 degrees to the right. You need to avoid going long and straight, as there's usually ponding water there. I throw a River on this hole because of its dependable turn and glide.

Tip #7
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#12
Another hole with the next tee (13) just at the edge of the circle and to the left of the basket. They usually don't play hole 12 in tournaments (because of the proximity at both ends...and there's actually another mando to keep folks away from the 7th tee and 6th basket), and substitute 13A instead. 12 is a downhill putter ace run, but if you gun it really firmly, or disc up, there is a chance of getting through to the OB road beyond.

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#11
The only mando on the course is there to the right of the fairway gap to protect anyone circling the drive whether on foot or in a vehicle, so don't bomb in a rhbh hyzer here, please. Go over the slight 'ridge' straight up the lane, but know that the 12th tee is exactly 30 feet to the left of the basket, and fades will slide down there, if you're not careful. Might be best to have a card mate confirm the next tee is clear before you throw.

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#10
Another hole where the longer tee was installed for safety, go down toward the drive for the longer challenge, and remember there's a bit of upslope to make the hole play slightly longer. I have to pull out my driver again. Lefties can sometimes struggle with swinging too wide to the left and catching that thickly branched tree, so they might work on slightly turning something over to avoid it.

Tip #10
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#9
There are two tees at this hole, and tourney players use the long (the original short tee was there when the basket was at the top of the hill and too close to the parked cars). This hole plays a good 50 to 60 feet longer than listed, due to the upslope. I throw my Tern (rhbh) because I don't have enough arm to reach or overthrow this one, and I am not worried about the OB road on the right because the upslope tends to cancel out some of the understability.
