No tips or other photos.
 
Probably go with a Star Wraith OH to clear the trees....

Then a Pinnacle Ghost RHBH

Champion Rhyno.
 
Nice way to begin a course! Beat Pro Boss, RHFH right up that gap.
 
beat Star Orc RHFH. Holes like this are the reason I need to remind myself to warm up before rounds...
 
Looks pretty downhill, probably a pd rhfh or if it plays a lot shorter than listed a banshee rhfh.
 
Playing downhill, I am going to need something stable that does not turn or fade; TeeBird or Gazelle will work just fine. From there it all depends what I need to mop up with. The park looks open enough where a three on a consistent basis should not be difficult to get.
 
If I can FH, I will flick a Boss. If not I will try to play over those trees with a Bandit. Not sure if I would have to overhand. It looks like I could hyzer flip it over them BH.
 
If it wasn't so long, this would be a good River shot with a nice slow turn through the gap. Unfortunately, that's not a shot I have at this distance. So I'll just go forehand with a Z Nuke to clear the creek and set up an easy 3.
 
It's a fairly steep valley, not really downhill.

RHBH Leopard dead ahead, lay up and putt out.
 
If it's open to the right I'd probably hyzerflip a havoc and let it roll slowly annhyzer. Otherwise up the gut with a teebird.
