Tip #1
Tip by:radsnowsurfer Added on: Hole:#12
This hole plays straight along a long line of trees on the right side of the fairway, there is a gap in these trees from approximately 290-340' from the tee, the hole is on top of a hill 100 feet into the trees. Professional level players will try to crash a towering RHBH anhyzer directly into the green, however, amateur players are better off trying to land either a RHFH hyzer, a RHBH anhyzer, or a RHBH roller shot at the entrance of the tree gap, setting up a long jump putt to the pin.

Hole 11E: This hole in it's typical long placement is a *huge* dogleg right. The hole cuts 90 degrees to the right about 240 feet out from the tee. If you crash into the trees on the right early, this hole gets very hard in a hurry. The best play is to play a big sweeping RHBH anzyer (or LHBH hyzer) that makes it around the corner on a significant anhyzer angle so that the disc can continue tracking to the right.

Hole 10E. From the basket of 9E, the pro tee for this hole is hard to find, looking toward the am tee, there's a narrow path through the thick woods that leads to the pro tee. From the pro tee, you have to thread an extremely tight 250' drive to reach the open fairway, from there it's an open upshot to the shaded green.

Hole 9E - For first-timers to the course who may have watched Beaver State Fling coverage online, this hole might be a bit odd, hole 9E and 10E on the regular course are combined to make a 676' par 4 that is listed as 16E on the tournament course. Hole 9E is a long par three reachable only by the longest-throwing players. For the brave, this hole can be a good RHBH roller shot. Generally though, any line that can get you past the trees into the open field will leave the best chance at par.

Hole 8E - This fun short hole is generally in its left-side position in the forest. A good ~275' RHBH hyzer that slices into the trees will leave a good putt. Avoid the large tree in the middle of the fairway as the rough directly around the tree can be challenging.

Hole 7E - This is the only hole where the am pad is the predominant pad used in tournament play. The pro pad indicated on the map is largely neglected and lacks a tee sign. From the am pad, the basket isn't visible, there are two primary paths, a long straight play that finishes uphill and to the right, this is reachable, but only with a powerful 375'+ forehand throw. The more typical path is a RHBH drive up the right, uphill immediately off the tee, then level down to the pin.

Hole 6E - This is a beautiful downhill par 3. The biggest mistake that players make (other than hitting the trees immediately in front of the tee) is having their straight downhill drives hyzer left into the wall of trees on the left side of the fairway. The trick is to play a hyzer flip with something significantly understable that will hold a long RHBH turnover shot.

Tip #8
Tip by:radsnowsurfer Added on: Hole:#5
Using the course map, it's difficult to see the picturesque long tee pad, from hole 4E you take a 90 degree left and follow the path down under a grove of trees, next to a picnic bench. This is a great two shot par four. From the long tee, you want to play a long hyzer shot. It's about 280 feet to the edge of the last tree on the left and it's crucial that you clear that tree in order to reach the fairway, go short and you're stuck in tough rough, at the same time if you go further than 360 feet, you will hit rough long. From the middle of the fairway, it's about 350 feet to reach the picturesque "stump" hole. If the pin is not in the famous stump position, there is a shorter position tucked far right at the end of the fairway.

Tip #9
Tip by:radsnowsurfer Added on: Hole:#4
This is a pretty straightforward hole, there is a right position that plays straight up the middle, and a left position. The right position is a good roller play for a RHBH player as attacking the pin through the air requires roughly 375 of low-line power.

Tip #10
Tip by:radsnowsurfer Added on: Updated on: Hole:#3
This hole has 3 positions. The marquee position is on top of the small mound. This hole plays deceivingly long as it is very slightly uphill, and is every bit the 395' it's listed at. There is a position directly in front of the mount that is 365', and there is a far right position that is also 365'.
