Measures 873, plays ~575 due to 119-foot decline -- mostly on the drive.
This long, straight fairway looks, well, straightforward. The edges of the fairway don't look especially dense or troubling. Until you play it. It's easy to end up way left, deep in jail.
Don't. Go. Left.
It's all about the drive. A familiar refrain:
1. Throw low and flat.
2. If you're throwing rhbh, select a disc more understable than you think.
3. Better to throw your favorite fairway driver or even mid-range into the fairway than to get greedy with a distance driver.
If you're gonna miss, way better to miss right. Missing the fairway to the right still presents challenges -- large, well-spaced trees, creative routes -- but it's far less punitive (and time-consuming) than missing left.
Straight down the middle is best, of course. The large fallen tree crossing the fairway is about 525 feet off the tee, requiring only about 325-feet worth of power to carry it -- on a straight, low line, right?
If you manage the find the middle of the fairway beyond the fallen tree -- whether on your first shot or likely more -- you'll have a basic, flat rhbh hyzer into the green.
Two notes: 1. Reaching this hole in two throws does not require unusual powers, but it's probably more rare than reaching #11 in one throw. 2. If your group spends less than 10 minutes looking for drives on this hole, consider yourself lucky.
