Due to the upslope, this hole plays longer than you'd think. But it's wide open, so grab the disc you think you could throw the length of a football field, and have at it.

For those of us who simply cannot sky hyzer over the top, we have to judge the breezes here, and select a disc that can get into the left to right lane low enough to stay under the right side branches, but have enough glide to carry up under the basket. For me, that can be an Underworld or a River, depending.

Both tee pads here show you that the fairway is really just the width of the path, and the ravine right is a beauty to be avoided. The pinch point en route to the basket is the field goal you have to hit with enough velocity to carry your disc over the bowl, to the platform green beyond.
From the short tee, I usually grab my River here again, because it's got glide, and I can control the line. From the long, my arm forces me to settle for two shots to reach the green, so I'm choosing something straight that can get me up near the pinch.

With one of the most beautiful disc golf ravine views in the region, holes 15 can also be brutal. A rhbh hyzer fade out to the void on the right can get back to the basket through the trees, or something low that drives straight up the lane and follows the drift to the right can work, as well. It can be a bit of a crap shoot because of the narrow, rocky path, which can kick your landing over the edge.
I throw a River here, and if the glide takes me above the retaining wall left, it usually skips forward and drops on the path.

The opposite of #11, this hole plays shorter due to the slope down hill. You usually have a breeze coming up the hill from the left, which can extend your (rhbh) tee shot if you allow the wind to get under the left wing of the disc. Last time here, I was able to drive my star Tern fairly straightaway, let it drift right, and fade just past (!) the pin.
A lot of folks throw at the fir tree guarding the 13th tee, and fade in to the pin, but be ready to warn anyone there if you go longer than expected.

This gently uphill sloping hole plays a LOT longer than it seems. Big arms might be able to reach the shorter pin position (in front of the trees straight ahead), but it would take a monster arm or a beautiful roller to get to the long spot (just to the right, and halfway from that tree to the driveway). I have to figure the wind, take my go-to driver out, and still have a long up shot to go.

Tip #7
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#10
The two basket positions on this hole are fairly similar, having a LOT of roll away potential. However, the lower and upper tees take very different shots. From the lower, you need to pick your lane amongst the two trees in front of you, and shape a line that can run the gap, drift right, and still land flat to the slope, so you don't kick right down into the ravine.
From the upper tee, you can reach the pin or landing zone with a hyzer (rhbh) over the trees, but the impact angle can leave you a roller.
Either way, if you've got a group with you, this hole is a great one to send forward a spotter.

Tip #8

This blind hyzer (rhbh) hole takes a mid or fairway driver only, but thrown fairly tightly just outside the tree in front of the tee to the left. Too fast or too wide places you below and to the right of the basket or worse, clipping the branches and spoiling the fun. Last time here, I parked a Teebird 4' from the pin. Might try that again.

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#7
Ace run opportunity for a gently launched putter aimed just a little to the right of the basket, and allowed to fade in. You're OK dropping in the ravine past the bridge, but need to be careful about the roll away green, because the bottom of the ravine long is purgatory. Keep your tee shot low (follow the ground contour) to minimize the bad variables.

Tip #10
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#6
This beastie can be tamed with a strong S shaped shot (a stable disc thrown rhbh on an anny line high over the bridge). The ideal tee shot gets up onto the ridge top (I've seen it parked...once!). You've got a tricky green dropping away to the right from there.
