With a good wind and tee, you can carry the hill and drive this green, so check out the setup before laying up in the fairway.  This big C3 driver was oh-so-close to dropping!  But this A1 carried the sand and caught a back cup — amazing!  Finally, this high-teed driver carried the sand straight at it and found the hole!

Here’s a nice hole-out to a front pin after laying up.

Here’s an example 9-wood ace.  This 5-wood found a back pin.

Here you can either take aim at the green and float a wood out to the right with a B3-type shot, or you can rotate right once and take more of an angle into this green — check out this fantastic 6-wood ace.

You can’t get there in two hitting out to the right, so you’ll be playing a small curve around to the left, short of the water, for one of three different types of approach shots.

Actually, there is a layup spot ahead in the rough that can give you an open look at a right pin — check it out!

First, you can float something like a 3-wood around the right side of the mountain to settle down on the green.  This works best if the wind helps out blowing left.  Also with a left pin, this driver carried over and around and backspun in the hole.

With the driver, you can also potentially use that C3 shot around the hill to skip off the water and hold the green.

Many times, though, you can roll a shot up and over the hill straight at the green.  Most any type of club works, but the more loft you can get away with, the better.  For instance, with a headwind, a great shot could be hitting a 3-wood with roll into a spot on the hill that will hit and carry over without catching any trees.  With a tailwind, perhaps bite or no spin can work, so that your ball doesn’t carry into the water after rolling down the front of the hill!  This 5-wood went into and over the hill and found a right cup.  And this 5-wood hit and rolled down into a left pin.

This shot looked like it had problems, but after a rock-deflection it somehow finds the hole!  And this driver manages to deflect over and float down for a perfect dunk!

If you end up short of the green, consider that this putt jumped the grass and found the cup!

This hole is drivable under optimal conditions — check out this big C3 around the right side that deflected off the rock onto the green!  And this one hopped the sand and nearly buried in the hole.

Otherwise, the trees don’t pose much of an issue cutting around to the second fairway off the tee — here’s an example hole-out from there.

Short holes like this can be challenging because you’ll often have a gap in your clubs and need to get creative.  Here’s a gap wedge that carried into a back pin, and here’s another one with the sand wedge.

Big headwinds can make this hole tough and make you consider clubbing up to hit a little punch shot instead to counteract the wind.  This one was coming in hot but caught the cup!  Here’s another screamer to a center pin.  This one was a 5-iron with bite counteracting a big cross-wind.

From the front box, this lob wedge found a back-left pin.

From the back-right box, there are several options.  Up and around is the safest play because you take the trees out of play.  However, there are gaps there that allow you to go at the green with the right loft and distance — for instance, a low-teed 4-wood works well from the left side of the box towards the middle/back.  From the back-left of the box, here’s a low-teed 4-wood through the gap that game pretty close.  From the middle-left of the box, this one found the hole.  A low-teed 5-wood can be thumbed through there too if you have the distance — it’s just a matter of finding just the right loft to be over and under the tree gap.

Now, if the wind is blowing right, you can also play the next gap over.  You don’t have to worry about being too low, because there’s no tree to clear over there…just stay under the tall one.  So here’s a 3-wood that bounced on and in.

If you have a 9-wood in the bag, you can also high tee that and take it over the left corner of those trees — check out this example.

Another non-recommended option is to skip around the left side — check out this low-teed 2-hybrid ace!  But if you miss the hole, it’s likely wet on the other side.  Here’s another 2-hybrid cut around that found the cup!

Here’s a logic-defying shot…almost ends up in the left fairway, but somehow bounces up and over to the green and finds the hole!

There’s another tee box out to the left that removes the trees as an obstacle — here’s a finishing ace from there.  This 5-wood was nicely played into a top left pin.
