Tip #1

It may seem obvious, but avoid overstable discs on this one. The ground near the basket is pretty well packed and allows for an easy skip into the parking lot (OB)

Due to the incredibly think brush surrounding the basket, it's not the end of the world if you come in too fast. Most of the time, the brush will knock the disc down right next to the pin.

On the approach, use the wall behind the basket to your advantage and throw hard. This will not only reduce the chance of undershooting and not making it up the hill, it will minimize the risk of going too far left of the basket and flying down the backside.

Tip #4

Watch the drop off! Many players aim either too high or too far left to avoid the big tree, and then end up burying their disc in the rough on the left side. There's plenty of room to throw something understable to the left and let it flex.

Tip #5

The teepad is just off the path and a little uneven, so it can be hard to locate for first timers. A light RHFH flick with a stable disc is ideal for hitting the small line on the left side of the fairway and fading right at the hole.

Tip #6

A short, low power RHFH or LHBH is best here, but try to use a disc that sits well for you. If you overshoot to the right of the pin, you'll end up down the slope and making a longer putt than you want.

Tip #7
Tip by:jtreadwell Added on: Hole:#3
To park this hole, a high, wide right hyzer is best. If you can get the disc to come left between the two large trees on the right of the fairway, the natural slope of the ground and a little skip should get you there easily.

Tip #8
Tip by:jtreadwell Added on: Hole:#2
It's really easy to overshoot this hole! Use a slower disc with some dependable fade, and try to make sure you end up to the left of the pin. The right is a mess of small trees and vines that can make a birdie next to impossible.

Th parking lot may be OOB, but your best shot is definitely over it. Try a nice flex shot and you should have a run at the pin.
