The lake hole. This hole plays pretty straight forward and can be reached in both long positions with a nice drive. LHBH players will notice a small hill that splits the landing area in two, focus on landing on top of that hill and you will give yourself the shot you need for both long positions.

Not too much to do here, throw it straight and make sure you miss the OB 390' down the fairway. 4 Basket locations for this hole but the "D" position is by far the hardest to play and birdie. There is a clear path down the fairway and I suggest that all players of all throwing styles use it because it is the easiest line.

Tip #3

For all RHBH players the lines are really the same but hitting it is the hard part, LHBH players you need to hit a 20' wide gap and push a drive to 375' for a real run at birdie for the long. If you find that a nice tailwind is blowing I would recommend a midrange or a fairway driver and if a headwind just use your go to and hit the shot. For the short the line is straight ahead, mid and long are both hyzers or nice well placed fade shots to the left.

Tip #4
Tip by:BENFTS Added on: Hole:#2
For all the RHBH players this hole tells you what to do the second you walk up to the tee, as for the LHFH or RHFH players you are left with one of the hardest shots in all of disc golf. Mastering the 350' 400' annie line and hitting two gaps (one at 85' and another at 330') is a real chore. Focus on the palm tree across the street and throw a flat annie into the heart of the palm tree for reference and after a few throws you can dial in the turn and fade you need to hit it all the time.

Pin position is key here as well and playing the right line, this will pay off in the end if you can do both. If you find the pin to be short use anything that you can throw straight into the wind and get a consistent straight flight. If the pin is in the long you have a few options that will all be decided on your arm strength. 400' + can go over the top and the rest will have to hit one of the two holes and play a good second shot.

Don't be fooled by this little shot, it can be the one that gets you. As your disc passes the trees, comes out of the tunnel and get towards the small hill that splits the hole in two sections a headwind will almost always meet your disc when it reaches the clearing. Prepare yourself for this and allow the disc to glide to the longer two positions to make sure you card a 2 on the duce or die hole at Parque De La Raza.

Tip #7
Tip by:BENFTS Added on: Hole:#9
Don't be intimidated, throw over the road (OB)with a forehand or a LHBH drive and use the wind to carry your disc in to the safe landing area with a clear view of all 3 positions. Driving throught the tunnel can make arrant shots miss and add strokes.

This hole really needs to be played one way to score well everytime. Throwing over the path on the left wiht a nice hyzer filp with the anny fade for the right handed players and a big long flex fade for the lefties will always park you in the best area for all the long positions.
