One of my local courses, finally!

This fairway is much tighter than the pictures make it look and the gap you see straight ahead into the field is grown over and you can't throw through it. There's a short dogleg right there in front of that opening that you have to go through. The play on this par 4 is to throw a soft forehand up to the landing zone of that dogleg. And then you have a somewhat blind hyzer approach shot out into the field to get to the basket. Definitely a tricky hole that has ruined many a good rounds.

FH a tactic off the tee. BH an MD5 for the approach.
 
You can absolutely go through the gap straight ahead, especially from the red tee which is eagle-able if you take that line. You can also play short and flick something overstable through the gap and over the bushes. This is honestly easier than playing the conventional fairway route, you don't have to throw it as far off the tee and the upshot is less obstructed.
 
Got no FH so, since Par 4 for all three, probably shooting for a Comet flip each time and see what I can get for the up.
