Basket:

The pro tee is straight back from the short tee.

The basket is tucked just off the right at the end of the fairway.

Tip from me - from the shorts a RHFH or RHBH anhyzer is the shot. from the longs most players layup with a midrange or putter to around the short tee, or just past it. Unless you can throw 400+ on a frozen rope, that's the safe play.
 
I'm not even going to throw a disc down into that abyss for the real HOD.

For my HOD, The shorts is usually a fuse or a spike. The longs I'll throw a fuse or warship and try to setup for an easy 3. If it's doubles and my partner's in a good spot I'll try a hyzerflip Fury or Renegade and try to get down there farther.
 
Short: RHFH Star Orc
Long: RHBH Neutron Amp hyzer flip as long and straight as possible
 
Red- a rhfh buzzz on a bit of an anny release to avoid the guardian tree on the left.

White - probably a teebird or something bright that I can find well in the woods lol
 
Have played this course many times.

S - Ontario Roc
L - Memorial stamped Buzz to the short tee pad or just past then a Ontario Roc or Flick a TeeRex.

Wizard for the birds :thmbup:
 
I'll write about the real HOD. It is a summer camp for kids, so most of us wouldn't need more than a mid. The first hole is about 170' downhill with a guardian tree (not very big) that prevents a forehand run at the basket. You are throwing down into the ravine, but the basket is toward the bottom so you don't run too big of a risk by throwing at it. I played a Zone in there RHBH for an easy 2. Overall, there were shots on this course that really frustrated me because they punish a bad throw, but they reward good throws with easy birds. There were a few holes that were ace runs, and some that were on the side of steep hills making a run at the hole treacherous. All in all, I would go back and play again. I work for a Christian camp myself, so putting that in my email made it really easy to get in to play.
