Quotes from reviews

Bordered by busy roads, stray shots on 1, 5, 6, 9 and especially 7 could end up in the middle of traffic

The concern about hole 7 is legit. There is a narrow strip of trees/scrub protecting a grip-locked shot from cruising into a busy street. Be careful!

A few holes (#3, #5 and #7) are long and/or require very precise drives, providing an excellent challenge for players of all skill levels

There's a risk of throwing your disc onto the street on hole #7 as the fairway hugs the street. If you accidently grip lock, you're in big trouble.

I'd like to add that Forrest Park is known to be a meeting place of homosexual men after the sun has set. So...be aware if you plan on playing after hours that you may be approached.

:clap:

From either tee probably a buzzz to keep it in the center away from the roads.

HOLE TIP - the hole plays downhill and the basket is on the edge of a steep drop that runs away to the OB road behind it. Whatever you throw needs to have enough power to get to the basket, but come in soft enough that it doesn't skip/roll OB deep. The road to the right of the trees is no longer there.

I usually throw a stable Roc from the red tee and challenge the ceiling/tree line letting it hyzer in front of the tree line and settle by the basket. From the long tee I throw a beat Roc flat and let it slowly turn at the basket.

Here are the two tees in relation to the basket:
