Red tee throwers, need a gradual left to right drive that doesn't go right too early. It's better to go shorter but straight off the tee than miss the fairway, and go as big or bigger on shot 2 to the green. Right rough over 250' is much more manageable in winter.

For us red tee throwers (RHBH), aim to the right of the pine tree across the bridge middle fairway, and let the disc follow the fairway shape. It's better to throw a straighter, shorter drive than going off the fairway, especially left. If you are in the fairway after 1, lots of lines to go for distance on throw two again to set up a short approach to get up and down for birdie.

As usual, there is a left and right fairway for the 2nd shot. The green slopes left to right, so it is much easier to stick if you can straighten your drive long enough for the right gap. Go right RHBH of the longest tree in the fairway to make it. Left gap is clear, just narrow and touchy. As an intermediate thrower, holes 10, and 17 are my "all out drives", let it rip here.

A short par 4 from the red tees, prioritize the fairway with a slow midrange over distance - it's the fairway or jail with nothing in between. The left gap sets up a comfortable hyzer RHBH if you hit the fairway, but it's hard to not drift left, as you have to throw a right to left shot to get past the trees at the tee. I like to punch through to the right fairway with an understable mid or RHFH overstable mid, there is less danger of a 40 ft drive. That sets up a straighter approach that is tight but fair.

Tip #5
Tip by:emc2birds1stone Added on: Hole:#2
A dogleg right, and like hole 1 you don't want to be long around the corner, i.e. too far left on the fairway. The angle gets pinched off, and while it's a pretty easy scramble, it's hard to get close. It's also easy to straighten your drive out too much on the tee shot and be in the rough long - way more birds than birdies there. My best drives are high, turnover RHBH mids that glide with the hill angle.

A RHFH drive with a high speed driver can cut the corner early, and play the downslope for a huge flare skip and pretty easily get way down towards the basket. The approach angle is easier from the far side of the fairway, but it's hard not to take the extra distance if you have the RHFH.

Tip #7
Tip by:emc2birds1stone Added on: Hole:#5
There are good fairways for either the RHBH or RHFH routes, but the sucker gap is hyzering out early by the stacked rock pile. That area looks clear, and is easy to hit if you don't straighten out your shot, but no good lines are from that spot. Don't be the sucker.

Tip #8
Tip by:emc2birds1stone Added on: Hole:#1
To properly set up the 2nd shot, you don't want to overdrive the fairway on the tee shot. You want to just make the corner, and stay on the left/uphill side of the fairway. I either throw a mid to stay short, or a driver very high hyzer.
To be fair, there is a lower gap cleared out now but it is much narrower, if you throw long.

Tip #9
Tip by:emc2birds1stone Added on: Hole:#7
I find the left fairway easier to hit and get to the dogleg in 2, but personally hate the down hill approach for the 3rd shot and now play the right fairway. From the short tees, forget the driver and throw either a turnover mid or RHFH mid to the mouth of the right gap. All you need on a 2nd shot is ~125' straight with a putter, staying in the fairway at all cost, then you can throw a putter or slow mid on a light hyzer for your third... and hopefully not roll down the ravine... to birdie.
