Tip #1

Tip by:sisyphus Added on:Mar 7, 2016 Hole:#8

Take a peek ahead at this 'green': the gentle right to left fading fairway finishes at a sloping pin position, where even a low thrown putter has been known to sit up and roll forward or down to the right, all the way to the snow fence. Do NOT throw a high tee shot that has a chance of going over that OB fence, or you're looking at a REALLY steep climb down to get your disc.

The trick to this steep uphill shot is the math. The basket is more than 30 feet above your head...maybe 40, which means it takes 90 to 120 feet more power than would a flat 125' hole. Might surprise first timers to see the basket Right...There! but underthrow the shot. I've been known to laser a fairway driver up at this for the ace run / deuce chance.

Hole 6 is five feet longer and slightly more forgiving than hole 5, so try the same firm rhbh fade with your mid or putter.

It's right there, but there are a number of trees that will force you to throw accurately. A mid or putter thrown rhbh firmly and straight through the right side gap generally fades left to the pin.

Play this steep downhill drop shot with tourney OB (path is out of bounds) to add to the challenge. A gentle anny Comet ace runs from my rhbh arm, but a gentle flick works too. This is one of only three really lefty friendly holes on the course.

Tip #6

Tip by:sisyphus Added on:Mar 7, 2016 Hole:#3

Most players need to shoot the woods gap and fade left to the green on this 280 footer, I've also seen huge arms sky / spike hyzer over the trees (!) Biggest caution is the steep hillside left and behind the basket.

Tip #7

Difficult for lefties, there is enough rise (and usually headwind) to make this "255 foot" hole play at least as long as the "300 foot"er you just finished. I'm full driver n a hyzer line (rhbh) to reach the green. Bigger arms might disc down or make sure folks on the third tee are aware you're down the hill throwing.

Tip #8

Tip by:sisyphus Added on:Mar 7, 2016 Hole:#1

The basket plays slightly downhill with a slope cresting just before the 'green', with the OB path wrapping 50 feet or so out around the back of the basket. I have a mediocre arm, so can usually throw driver or fairway with no qualms.
