Tip #1
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#8
#8 is the longest downhill hole on the course and presents numerous challenges and options for playing it. The scattered trees don't give you a lot of margin for error if you throw a straight drive. Also, if you do throw it straight down the hill, you can easily hyzer into some bad rough to the left of the green. Another approach is to throw a hyzer to the left of the scattered fairway trees, but keeping it left of the more numerous trees around the #9 tee. If you can snake it through this way, your tee shot has a great chance of skipping right to the hole.

Tip #2
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#7
#7 is uphill and crosses fairways with the downhill #16. Watch for other players on the tee at #17 also. There's a clump of trees at the top of the hill, about 40 feet from the basket, guarding the putting area. If you can avoid these trees, birdie is possible.

Tip #3

#6 is the shortest hole on the course and requires an anhyzer from RHBH throwers or a soft flick. Very easy birdie if you can throw a good, short flick.

Tip #4
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#5
#5 is one of the longer holes at Kentwood and plays uphill. If your drive goes left, you will be in good shape so long as you carry past the scattered trees on the fairway. #5 basically shares a fairway with #14 on the left-hand side, so if you land there, you have a straightforward upshot. If you're a bigger arm with good control, you can go for the basket off the tee in the more narrow fairway to the right.

Tip #5
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#4
Hole #4 is a straight fairway requiring a slight hyzer for a RHBH thrower (to avoid the trees to the right). It's definitely better to be a little left than to be right. This is a birdie hole so long as your line comes *close* to the trees to the right of the fairway, but doesn't clip any branches to slow the flight or knock down the disc.

Tip #6
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#3
Hole #3 is the only water hole at Kentwood...and it is real water (deep in places). Unless you are confident in your ability to keep your drive level and straight, without too much fade at the end, throw whatever disc your must comfortable with for a 220ish foot hole. If you have any doubts, throw a floating disc (that is, unless you don't mind taking a dip to get your disc). The water is usually pretty clean and clear, so if you do have to go in after a disc, it's not the end of the world.

Hoe #2 is straightforward, but wait to throw until traffic is clear on the road parallel to the hole!

Tip #8
Tip by:KenanFlagler01 Added on: Hole:#1
Hole #1 is the easiest on the course and makes for a great low-risk warm-up hole to start your round. But you better make at least a 2!

If you are confident in your putter off the tee, the simplest approach is a straight throw to the basket. There is a large pine tree to the front-right of the basket. If you don't go with a straight shot to the basket, preferring a hyzer line instead, make sure you hyzer to the right of the tree, giving you a chance to ace or skip close to the basket.
