The pond should not come into play here unless you get crazy. Landing in the wide opening on the right in front of the basket will yield a better shot than going for the basket and ending up left.
Hole 9 has changed for blue tee.
It has become a moderately long tunnel shot with a 8-10' wide path pretty straight up a slight hill.
Getting the whole way out of there gives you a view of the basket for a 2.. but it is tough to do so.
Baseball Field is OB. If you land in field, the drop is a rock at the fence gap.
While it is never worth going OB, this hole doubles the pain. It is easy to 2-3 putt this hole so avoid trying to shortcut over the field until you throw this hole a few times and can judge it.
