Tip #1

With it's huge tee pad, picnic table, and generous looking fairway, hole 15 should be a more relaxing place to hang out. But you start to sweat the myriad trees dotted along the first half of the fairway that make this hole distance just long enough to give you consternation. A lot of folks hit those trees. You're not the only one. But the rough and underbrush has been cleared enough to make your recovery shot...tolerable. My best results come when I throw my flippy, beat 150 teebird with the intent to clear the obstacles more than to get all the way to the pin.

The tee for new hole C is up over the ridge and down by a crossing path to your left, but you might want to take a look over that ridge and down to the right to scope out the basket position your first time here. You'll note that the hole plays slightly blind and the best line is a rhfh (or lhbh) S-shaped shot that will carve a line around the little cluster of trees 2/3rds of the way along the fairway. There is a mando straight ahead off the tee which protects folks on the 15th tee pad, so observe the mando, please. Me, I wish I could control my Teebird well enough with a rhfh to get this job done. ps: walk carefully on all the new holes: there are still some small, toe-stubbing stumps along your path.

14 looks easy, right? I'ts short, right? Well, the slope up is a little bit of an optical illusion, and you'll need to adjust your disc selection and speed to compensate appropriately. I don't have the best distance off the tee (which, by the way slopes slightly uphill, too), so I usually try to gun my old 150 Teebird (very beat, very little fade) straight at it. With the hill to slow your overthrow, this might be the highest probability ace run on the course.

Tip #4
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#15
13 is a tricky, short downhill shot with a plethora of small trees intended to deflect the flight of your disc. The main fairway makes a left to right C shape down there, but the last part of the bend is still cluttered enough to ruin your ace run, regardless of whether you throw backhand or forehand (or which hand you choose). There is, however, a 'cheater's route' angling 45 degrees right off the tee, which has the same odds. I'll either anny (rhbh) a Comet down the intended path or try the right side with my trusty Tensor.

Tight off the tee, hole 12 opens out and finishes slightly to the right of center. Throw a controlled mid or fairway driver with the aim of clearing the mid-fairway gap. I reach for my trust River, or even my Fuse, because they give me the gentle right turn I need for my rhbh. Obviously, left handers and rhfh would work better!

Tip #6

There are more tees than clean fairway lines on hole B ;) The short tee is just to the right of A's basket, the long is back across the ravine to the left. The basket is way up slope to the right, with the fairway really coming in thirds: 1/3 between the tees, 1/3 to the bend and big tree mid-fairway, and the last 1/3rd being an approach guarded by about a dozen small tree trunks. Best approach is absolutely to disc down and stay in the middle of the fairway here. Three putter/mids and a tap in beats the driver kick in the the woods, struggling out, and facing a six or worse.

Tip #7
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Updated on: Hole:#12
One of three new holes on the course, you'll take the small path beyond the 11th basket, rather than turning right, to 12. Might want to walk down for a look at this, if it's your first time, and then leave a spotter from your group before you throw. With the right-turning mando bend down there, this one's really a putter-mid control shot to the landing zone, because if you get greedy trying left to right, it gets pretty rough for all but the most pure'd shots. The basket sits 50% further up on the ridge to the right of the ravine. The only time I've heard it deuced, it was Comet to the LZ, lucky Comet field ace ;)

Tip #8
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#11
The main fairway on 11 is straight downslope off the tee with just enough height to fade left toward the basket as the (usually rhbh putter or mid) begins to slow. The angle of the slope around the pin makes this a difficult hole for left handers (or rhfh), as you'll want your anny to settle down flat to the slope at the finish.

Possibly one of the tightest holes on the course, 10 will tempt you to try to go for the green. If you've got excellent control of your left to right curving lines, feel free to go for it. But you really won't lose a stroke by throwing a putter straight to slightly bending right, and having a long look at the deuce from the bottom end of the fairway. It beats overdoing it and taking the more common four here after your wood-kick adventure.

Tip #10
Tip by:sisyphus Added on: Hole:#9
The primary lane between the pines glides slightly down slope, and finishes just a hair to the right. The course was designed by 'Sidearm' Don Alexander, so you'd expect even more of these than he gave you. But do not fear: there is really a pretty good secondary lane through the right side of those pines, if you want to throw a more traditional rhbh hyzer line. Keep this thought in mind: there's more air than wood. Really, there is!
