This hole is pretty straight forward, literally. I played it in the winter time, so there wasn't alot of brush. Compared to some of the other holes on this course, I consider this hole a little bit of a confidence builder.

I've only played this course once and it was great. There's a great mix of holes and there are plenty of approach options. Not an easy course, as my score there definitely shows. Overall, I'd say well worth the drive for anyone in the area if you haven't tried it yet. Once I get better, I plan to revisit and try again. Until then, I'd rather stick to Sioux Passage or Jefferson Barracks.

Pro Leopard off the tee, RHBH and let it turn over a bit so that it fades off to the right, landing into the slope of the hill. Then just Voodoo it in from there.

Some S shot, short probably my new wasp, long my avenger.

Red: RHFH a Champ Leopard (no wind) or Teebird (wind), fading back into the hill

Blue: RHFH a Star Valk (no wind) or Teebird (wind) off the tee, prolly approach with a Wizard

Looks like a fun hole – red tee reminds me of a cross between Seneca #25A and Druid #12C (wood)

Blue- Hyzerflip Vision
Red- Fuse

Light GL River for both, little more hyzer on it for the long.
