Smileyaili17 did a really good job describing this hole so I am just going to add a point or two.

It's worth noting that it's 15' downhill to the dogleg and this can be used to give your disc quite a bit of fade. I like to throw a Gateway Wizard here (stable putter) and I throw it hyzer and with a little nose up, I throw it hard enough to overshoot the dogleg about 20' but what happens is the disc loses energy during the climb since it is nose up while the hyzer line keeps it moving left. My aim is typically high and right because most of the trees you will hit are on the left so people who try to cut-off the dogleg often times get "unlucky" and hit a tree. The solution I have found is to stay right and come in from behind the trees and it works. I don't often hit them and I am often on that dogleg, and often well into it.

From here throw a Leopard aiming for a 25' elevated putt on my next shot.

Have Fun!

Hole # 2

There is a 90 degree dogleg to the left, with the first segment far shorter than the second. From the tee, you will see a grass patch past the the few larger trees in the fairway. From there, the fairway goes straight to the left.

There are two large evergreens on each side of the fairway that leave only a 12-14 foot gap to shoot through.

After these two trees, there are a few trees scattered along the left side of the fairway.

The basket is at end of this long fairway segment (from the grass patched I described first) to the right on the side of a hill

Recommended Procedure:
Throw your first drive with a slight hyzer (I use a midrange) so that it lands preferably on the left side of that grass patch that is just past those larger trees. The reason for this is that it will put you in a better position for the second shot. You must also be careful because if you throw the first drive too hard, it will go beyond the grass patch and leave you with a VERY difficult second shot out of the woods. So make sure the first shot has just enough power to land on, or to the left of, the grass patch.

The danger with the first drive is that it takes a little bit of accuracy in order to throw it through the first segment of the fairway, and there are also all those trees right in the way. What I do is throw it and hope it doesn't hit any of them lol. It seems to work for me most of the time. And even if it hits one of those trees in the fairway, you can still hyzer a putter through the fairway to make it land right before the two big evergreens.

The second shot, if your first one went well, is the most important shot in my opinion. If you can get past the two evergreens, you will be able to launch a midrange disc comfortably down the rest of the fairway to the basket.

So make sure you land far enough down the first segment of the fairway (but not too far, because you can easily overthrow your first throw) so that you can throw past these evergreens.

From there, all you need to watch out for is the hill where the basket is on. When approaching the basket, your disc will most likely land on the side of the hill where you cannot see. Since it is on a hill, rolling is highly possible and it happens a lot. Luckily, there is a medium sized log only about 7 feet away from the basket that stops most rolling discs.

The ideal throws on this hole would be:

first throw: Land to the left of the grass patch at the joint of the dogleg

second throw: Throw a good distance through the two evergreens

third throw: By now, you are in range for either a long putt or placement shot

fourth throw: Finish out with a relatively easy putt if you did not make a long putt with the third throw
