It's a real shame the park leaves that bench and sign there in the center of the fairway (and they've added a trash barrel for more fun). It could relatively easily be moved about 100' and not be in play. Anyway, best to consider a spotter up at the bend here, for hiker safety, and to locate the disc kicks around the blind green. And, for me, this is a straight Comet shot left of the pine.

Another lengthy throw up the hiking path, but fortunately, you can usually see far enough up to know if anyone is coming. You still need to land center - left, and not turn one over to the right. I use a stag for this line.

A hole with beautiful views when the leaves fall, most players can't drive off this short tee and make it all the way to the green, so you really want to consider your landing zone, which is on the top of the dam. Both left and right handers have to be wary of throwing too high and allowing their fade to get just over the top edges, because the slope might allow a long glide or roll, making for a climb and a tough recovery shot. Better to throw under control (fairway driver) if you don't have a 400' drive in your bag.

Tip #4

This hole is so similar to hole 4, my advice is the same, except the path bends more to the left. Assuming you choose to take it in two bites, you might not yet be able to see the basket from mid-fairway. The key is still staying up on the path or left, and not getting off on the right. I'm teebirding twice and hoping for a drop in putt.

Pretty sure this one plays shorter than the tee sign indicates, so I'd use my overstable putt and approach disc (a Zone), after stepping out to the right of the tall weeds that obscure your view from the tee. Get a good look at your target & pick a tree you CAN see from the tee, then go for it.

The first of three in a row that play along the (left side) path, the only consideration you'll need is to throw with enough control to make SURE you stay up on the trail or the slope on the left, and not down in the weeds, woods, and water on the right. I don't try to reach this distance, but rather disc down to a fairway drive I know really well (teebird).

For most right handers, you'll be throwing something that fades, but putting it out firmly to the right (over the path). Might be best to play this one (like most of the course) with a spotter for safety of walkers and joggers, but also to watch where your disc might kick off the last trees and the creek just in front of the basket. This one's long enough I need to throw at least a fairway driver (like a teebird or stag).

Grab your putter and have fun ace running this shortie: there's plenty of backstop for most slow moving discs to stay right there on the green if you don't catch metal.

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#1
Don't be afraid to swing this tee shot a little more to the uphill side, so that the left to right finish clears that last thicket of honeysuckle before the basket (you could be in close but not have a shot if you cut in early). Since I don't have a reliable forehand, I throw a Comet on an anny line (rhbh) to get in to this green.
