Tip #1
Tip by:djofresh Added on: Updated on: Hole:#18
Hole goes downhill, big right turn, and then uphill. Whichever way you throw, just make sure the disc is going right. Way right. I pulled off a great anhyzer backhand shot on this hole one time, and it just kept turning and turning. On the approach, bring the shot in from the right side, because it's more open to the basket.

Putter or mid-range shot. You can throw directly at the basket and try to stick your disc just short or you can bring it in from the right, avoiding a tree. Aiming to the right is a safer option, but it may not get you closer to the basket. Extreme slope around this basket, so make sure that your disc lands flat if you miss.

Hole goes down the road and then up the hill to the left. Two options on this hole: Throw a straight-flying disc low and hard down the path, or if you have a big arm, go for the high drive out over the lake and finishing back to the left. The high route is very risky and there is lots of poison oak to the right of the path on this hole. The approach is somewhat covered by trees and is very uphill. If you can stick on the hill or get far enough to the left, you are in good position. If you get stuck on the hill after your drive, stay up on that left side. It's a safer path to the basket.

Basket is over the crest and downhill a bit. Throw a driver that will stay straight or turn right a little bit. Also watch out for the poison oak behind and to the right of the basket.

Tip #5
Tip by:djofresh Added on: Hole:#14
Basket is uphill, down the road, and to the left. Throw a disc with good glide and something you trust. On the approach, there is a tree lit up in the distance. It's on the other side of the path and if you get right to that tree, the basket is straight up from there. Rollers and strong hyzers work well for the approaches. Extreme uphill putt to the basket.

Tip #6
Tip by:djofresh Added on: Hole:#12
Basket is downhill near the lake and past the trees. Throw a disc that won't lose its speed too early. That means a disc with good glide or a slightly understable driver. The approach is very difficult, because of the group of trees blocking the basket. The safest approach is sliding it towards the basket, but if you want to go over the trees, make sure you throw it far enough and be careful of roll-aways. Stay down the right side on this hole and you will be fine.

Just stay IN BOUNDS! Throw your favorite disc several times on this hole and stay to the right when you get closer to the basket.

Tip #8

Another ace run hole! This is a fairway or distance driver hole. It's best to bring your shot in from the right, because the O.B. cuts in early on the left side. Also make sure not to putt too hard, because you can have a long comeback putt.

Tip #9

Basket is uphill and to the left. Do not cut the corner on this hole, unless you can throw 400'. The best shot is a strong hyzer or flex sidearm out to the right and finishing over the small bushes in the fairway. Uphill approach shot that makes distance control tricky.

Tip #10
Tip by:djofresh Added on: Hole:#8
Downhill hole. You want to throw a disc that you can trust on this hole. There is usually a crosswind from the right here. If you choose to aim left, give the disc enough room to turn in. Approach shot needs to come in high and from the right.
