This is a 600' par 4 that is on a gradual downhill slope for most of its distance. It is pretty wide open but the common error is to throw a disc that turns over and gets into the large tree on the right. Stay away from that tree and a birdie (3) is not difficult.Get behind the tree and a bogey is a real possibility.

Tee shot placement for the two long positions: You want to be to the right of the fenced in electrical equipment area and not too far past to set up a right turning shot that can get you within 150' or less of the basket in the longest position. If you have a really big arm, you want to land past the bathroom giving yourself a clear shot at the basket (this will take a 500'+ drive).

Being either far to the left of the restrooms or short enough that they don't restrict your options too much will still allow a chance for birdie.

For the "B" basket position, you want to stay to the right of all the obstacles to leave yourself a clear upshot.

For the short basket position, you have a 30' elevation advantage. Treat this like a 300' shot and throw a long mid or fairway driver and remember to throw downward.

Half of the big, thorn-covered tree has fallen and was cut in early fall, 2014. This has changed the approach on the hole, but it is still tricky. The fairway is shaped for a RHFH flex shot. An RHBH shot that sneaks under the trees to the right of the basket can also get very close.

Tomahawk/thumber throwers probably have the advantage on this hole if they have the distance to go straight over the tree.

This is a good hole to break out that forehand. A hard fade right at the end can get you within birdie range if you are very accurate.

Tip #5

The trick on this hole is to ignore the narrow fairway and big pine in front of the tee box. Throw a tomahawk up high and to the left of the fairway for the best chance of landing with a shot at birdie. The gap you are looking for is the one that is on a direct line to the basket when you are standing on the back left of the tee box.

There is another, small gap up high and to the left of the "fairway" that can get you in birdie range, but it is pretty tight.

It may be possible to get close by hyzering around the fairway up high, but those shots are very susceptible to rollaways after bouncing off a tree, and you will hit a tree. Also, if the disc doesn't break enough to the left, you will be looking at a shot through brush to get close enough for par.

A forehand that flexes and fades back at the end can park this hole. A shot that turns a little, and with a little tree help, can also get you a birdie.

The super safe, sure par method is to layup on the slope just short of the utility pole. Watch out for the guy wire!

Brush up on your forehand. A high forehand shot can fade enough to park this 275' +/- hole.

This hole has been birdied with backhand rollers and turnover shots. The angle of the dogleg is approximately 45 degrees, so a perfect turnover can get you very close. Consider either if you don't have a forehand.

This hole is now in its permanent, shorter position than when originally installed.

Tip #8
Tip by:Doofenshmirtz Added on: Updated on: Hole:#1
Safe: Hyzer around the ballfield
Not so Safe: Throw a turnover shot over the ballfield.

Around can get you a fairly easy par if you don't have a huge arm. Over can get you a birdie or a 5.

Be very careful of a wind from the right as it will push your disc OB very quickly.
