Review by Joshmo65
"To get to hole 9, cross the gravel parking lot past 8 and go down the bank on the other side. Try to get your first shot out far enough that you are not in the small trees to the left which make run ups difficult and may beat down your second throw early. "

Green to tee

This is one of my "home" courses. This is one of the few open bomber holes in Pittsburgh.

It starts off on a tight open fairway that leads into a wide open landing zone. Dont go too far left and land in the small grove of trees

From there you have to finesse a second shot through a tight set of trees to have a look at the green. Placement is key on the second shot if you want to have a shot at a birdie

Destroyer - buzzz/whippet - ion

 

[Stardoggy]

Oh I don't know...probably a lot of Star Orcs and figure it out from there....

 

[kingjames1014]

Probably an amp or Volt once or twice.

Axis or Anode to get to the green

N ion putt

 

[elmexdela]

saint multiple times all the way to the basket

 

[chris deitzel]

Throw it far. Then throw it really far again, hoping that you can squeak by all of those trees and skip down towards the pin for an eagle 3.

 

[Disc Fiend]

PD off the tee, then repeat.

 

[Halcón]

I'd roll my entire bag.

 

[bsnone]

D3/Leo for the first two throws provided I'm in good position, probably an M4/Truth to the basket.

 

[pmorgan1214]

i would throw gstar krait then another gstar krait then another drive to the basket for a hopeful birdie. but my luck i hit 3 trees in the last 50 feet and i take a 6 or a 7.

 

[joshmo65]

I usually throw a destroyer off the tee to make sure it gets left. Then try to flex a firebird down to the basket for a 3. I have 1 eagle in 27 rounds on this hole from the whites, so it doesn't usually work out as easy as it sounds. However, this is one of my favorite holes anywhere.

 

[notBOB]

holy cow, might as well throw them blues:

big ol' boss, another big ol' boss to hopefully enter the tree line. depending on placement and angles i'l throw my aviar or possibly flick a FB as an upshot, and finish with the aviar.

 

[Daubers]

Makes me sad this amazing course is localish for me and I have yet to play it. Gotta get out there soon as theweather breaks!

 

[tbird888]

A couple PDs, followed by a Wasp/Pure/Zone

 

[DiscinFiend]

Red (594') - (Beat) Star Destroyer RHBH/KC Roc RHBH/KC Aviar RHBH Upshot
White (774') - (Beat) Star Destroyer RHBH/12x Champion Teebird RHBH/KC Aviar RHBH Upshot
Blue (846') - (Beat) Star Destroyer RHBH/12x Champion Teebird RHBH/KC Aviar RHBH Upshot

 

[DJ Sticky Feet]

Toss a Crank and then a bunch of escapes

 

[discflinger]

Blue-Beat FR Boss roller, Star TB roller and following it up with a Pure or Pro Classic Roc.

Cool! One of my photos (although not one of my better ones) is on the DGCR front page!

How I play the hole, which might be my favorite in all of Pittsburgh:
First Shot: Star Wraith or Katana with slight hyzer flip that finishes left (but hopefully not too far left).
Second Shot: A roller Wraith by the pavilion that has the potential to roll and funnel down towards the basket. Or, a turnover shot with a Wraith or Katana that -- if it has eyes -- can follow the path and give an eagle putt.
Third Shot: If lucky, I'm putting. Otherwise, it's a short hyzer down the path or a short shot over the cliff (where Nikko is in the course picture).

My stats for the hole:
White (mean = 4.39 over 23 rounds): 2 eagles, 12 birdies, 7 pars, 2 bogies
Blue (mean = 4.77 over 52 rounds): 2 eagles, 16 birdies, 26 pars, 8 bogies
