Tip #1
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#9
This one is short again (enough for a putter), but there's a tree or two guarding the basket from shots coming in from the left or straight. I float my stable putter (Vibram VP) a little to the right, and let its natural fade (rhbh) bring it in close.

Tip #2
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#8
The one 'long' hole on the course, I worried about the stated distance and the drop off slope in front of the basket until I realized it might actually play longer than stated. Right now, I power up my Buzzz (or even a Teebird!) because it's further than it looks. When the newly planted trees come in, the right half of the fairway will close off a little, meaning rhfh might be the better shot.

Tip #3
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#7
Now you're turning back around and throwing down slope, so the 40 feet longer 'distance' is cancelled out by the elevation drop. Repeat a similar shot from the last two (throw a firm, stable putter shot with a little loft to drop in the basket, or at least parked close for your drop in deuce), and don't worry too much about going long (assuming you didn't drill through the tree line with something over-speed).

A tiny bit shorter still than the previous hole, do the same thing: throw a firm, stable putter shot with a little loft to drop in the basket, or at least parked close for your drop in deuce.

Shorter and flatter than the previous hole, throw a firm, stable putter shot with a little loft to drop in the basket, or at least parked close for your drop in deuce.

Tip #6
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#4
Deceptively up-slope, this hole feels more like the 200-210 foot range, in terms of power needed. But, wide open, it's a P/A or Mid shot (Buzzz again, for me).

Tip #7
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#3
The secret to hole 3 is not allowing your disc to fade left. Right handers might want to see if their forehand is up to the task. The hole also plays a little longer than it seems at first glance. But for most middle level players, a putt/approach or a mid will do. I reach for my trusty Buzzz.

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#2
The elevation on this hole makes it play at least 80-100 feet 'longer' in terms of the power needed to reach the basket. The line is a natural right hand backhand, and with Rec to Intermediate distance, I'm throwing anything from a Buzzz to a Teebird on the hyzer line, with a good deal of zip on it. 'Longer' players may still throw a putter up there...

Tip #9
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#1
Your target is the closest basket, not the one visible way up the hill. Have at it! The shrubbery behind the basket generally will catch and possibly deflect back your overthrow. Most Recreational players (and above) will pull out a putter for almost every hole on this course, but new players: don't be embarrassed to throw a disc that makes you comfortable and under control.
