The course information should be updated by a local. The course established date is 1990, not 2004. I played this course back in the 90's when it was the ONLY course in the Quad Cities. Jeff Harper had a hand in the original design and should be added as an original designer. I know I played this course in a couple of PDGA tournaments in 99 and 2000. I first met Kathy Betcher-Sprague at this tournament.
 
RHBH a Star Light Valk out to the left on a turnover shot.
Challenger/APX from there.
 
RHBH Avenger SS and have it float right. Should be within 50' of the pin giving me a run for birdie.
 
Assuming the road is OB, I would fling a Champ TeeBird up there for a long birdie, easy three. If the wind is calm and I am feeling it, I could muscle a Champ Leopard into an ace run that would park itself before finding the road.
 
I assume that the street is OB and if I run my typical LHBH at the pin I'll probably skip into the road. So:

LHFH flex Champ XCaliber to stay safe and get a 3.
 
Leopard, Ridge, Aviar.
 
VIP Underworld for a nice, tight turnover. Comet or VP for the upshot, Voodoo to putt.
 
Bliz Teedevil at the tree on the hill. That thing flips so well it will end up down near the basket.

The course was pulled for a while. I thought it was a new layout too. Could be wrong.

I throw a flippy Nuke here.
