Shortest hole on the course, and tightest fairway. If you can throw 160-220 with pinpoint control on a straight line, you can run directly at it. Most approach it with a hyzer (RHBH) shot around the trees on the right. Hitting early trees can leave you with nothing in the way of a viable second shot; fours or higher are more common on this hole than you'd think.

"Lake" marked by logs in front of basket area plays as OB. Lots of otherwise good drives find one of the trees at the edges of this area and end up "in the drink". Safest route that still offers a legitimate birdie opportunity is a RHBH hyzer shot (or equivalent) to the right of the lake, finishing by the basket, but overthrowing or missing your line to the right can put you deep in nasty rough, complete with thorns, etc. Tree directly to the left of the black pad definitely gets in your head if you let it.

An uphill shot to a relatively open basket awaits throws that land in the fairway. The Red tee yields a nice ace run look, while a very difficult dogleg right from the Blue pad will challenge even the most advanced player, especially with the line of trees protecting the pin from the left side. The Black tee intimidates even the best, with a narrow gap to hit and then another 280 feet uphill to the basket, and the Mando just right and in front of the Blue tees. In tournament play there's typically an OB line marked from the Mando tree up the hill to the trees behind 17's basket, so the challenge is to keep it far enough left to ensure making the mando while not ending up screened from the pin by the trees on the left.

Tip #4
Tip by:12StonesScott Added on: Updated on: Hole:#10
The back nine begins with a narrow uphill shot. Severe trouble runs along both sides of the fairway, so accuracy is very important. The uphill elevation change makes this hole play much longer than measured. The terrain plateaus 80-90 feet short of the basket, and then it's all downhill from there -- including a dropoff right behind the pin that sees lots of rollaways on missed putts that land on an edge. Ideal position on drives is on the right-hand side of the fairway, as there are fewer trees to contend with on that side for approach shots. But there's enough brush and trees between 10 and 18 to punish you if you get too far to the right. And approach shots from the right hand side are at a greater risk of skipping/rolling down the slope behind the pin.

Tip #5

A classic risk/reward hole marked with an "s" curve to the landing area. Errant tee shots are almost always a hard recovery shot due to the denseness of the trees in this area, but those succeeding in their gamble can make it down around the basket. A downhill green with a small gully on the back left side and several trees on the way make this a challenging birdie hole.

There is an s-curve RHBH anyhyzer line that skirts the early trees in the middle of the fairway just to the left, tails back into the wooded area on the right, and then finishes back slightly left to the basket area for a drop-in birdie, but it requires hitting exactly the correct line -- too far left, too much on it, or too little anhyzer and you'll end up seriously in jail behind one of the clumps of trees on the right side of the fairway. Too much anhyzer and you'll end up in the woods between 9 and 16 or 18. And of course if you miss the line there's the risk of hitting those early trees or ending up off in the woods/brush with a nasty second shot 200+ feet from the hole.

Tip #6
Tip by:12StonesScott Added on: Updated on: Hole:#8
Hard dogleg right that requires a finesse shot of between 170 and 230 feet, depending on which tees you're playing, to give you a good look at the pin on your second shot. Second shot is slightly uphill about 150 feet from the landing area to the pin, which is well guarded by trees. If your drive ends up way off to the right, you might just find another fairway.

Nominally plays as a par 4, but if you don't get greedy and try to drive to the pin and you can throw a straight shot to the bend in the dogleg, or a slight curve from there a little farther up the fairway, this hole will give up lots of 3s.

Tip #7
Tip by:12StonesScott Added on: Updated on: Hole:#7
Slight dogleg left hole with a very difficult tee shot. There is a ceiling of limbs that require a low, straight shot into a landing area that is also protected by tree lines on both sides. Reaching the plateau/landing zone safely is of the utmost importance on this one, more so than distance -- getting up and down from the ravine on the left is nearly impossible, and anything out of control or too high is almost certain to end up down there.

Tip by:12StonesScott Added on: Updated on: Hole:#6
Distances on tee sign are approx. 14 feet too long since basket had to be moved because of construction of the walking path.

Dramatic elevation changes on this hole along with a tight fairway make for a challenging tee shot from the back two sets of tees. Pin is located at the top of the hill, so make sure you have plenty on your throw -- but path behind pin and beyond plays as OB, so not too much. Sees a lot of overhand shots from the tee, especially from the Black pad. A well-executed RHBH hyzer shot from the Red tee has a good chance of ending up parked, as long as it's not so wide that it catches the trees on the right and low enough to stay out of the canopy of limbs above.

Last hole of Kudzu Corner. Easy to see pin placement, down and to the left. A variety of throws can get you to the most open pin on the course. Sharp dropoff on left side of fairway and behind the pin down to the fairway for 3, with tons of kudzu on the slope -- keep an eye on where it goes down if you want to see it again, and remember that it could roll all the way across Hole 3 into the woods. An easy gentle hyzer Roc shot from the Reds for most RHBH throwers, as long as you start it far enough to the right and don't throw it too hard -- a lot of near-miss ace runs end up 40 feet away downhill behind and left of the basket. From the Blue and Black pads, the same sort of RHBH hyzer line is workable, but a lot of players will throw a RHBH anhyzer or sidearm so that the disc finishes into the slope and stays closer to the basket.

Tip #10
Tip by:12StonesScott Added on: Updated on: Hole:#4
Longest hole on the front nine. Features a dramatic tee shot to a tight landing area between trees and the trailers. Big arms will generally take a shot over the trailers to the downhill green, but leaving it short risks being stuck between the trailers, and anything that finishes too far left will be swallowed up by the kudzu and potentially end up at the bottom of a steep slope. From any of the tee pads, the woods and brush on the right can be nearly impossible to get out of once you're in there. RHBH hyzer approach shots from the fairway along the trailers need to come in soft -- a pin-high shot with too much momentum can easily skip or slide 50 feet or more past the basket on the hardpacked downhill slope, and anything that doesn't turn left soon enough will end up in the midst of thick brush and trees. You'll see a lot of hyzer spikes and soft tomahawk/thumber approaches here both from the fairway and from between trailers.
