Some setups allow you to blast over the neck to the second fairway; take advantage of this when given!

Otherwise, you may have to get partially out in the neck of fairway to have a chance to get there in two (at least with a 3-w0od, which you’ll definitely prefer over a driver approach).  A ridiculously-shaped green awaits with water to catch an errant approach.  You may need some good backspin here to hold if you need to bring a driver in, and you may have to leave yourself a long putt or short chip just to avoid getting wet trying to attack a tough pin placement.

This drive did hang on the fringe in the neck to allow a 3-wood approach for the dunk!

The back box offers several options.  Often times a 3W or 5W can line up with the green while you play a B1-type shot out left through the tree gap and over the hill.  Here’s an ace with the high-loft (Howitzer) driver using a high tee.

A high-teed 3W can also get over the hill straight ahead if you find the gap in the trees — check out this amazing dunk!  Here’s another through a tree gap that finds the hole.

You can also play around the right side — this driver was screaming hot but the hole sucked it in!  This one had much more control to a left pin.  And this driver was an incredible play, backspinning off the sand to the green and the cup!

From the front box, here’s a 6-wood dunk to a right pin!

Using a high tee if needed, get your drive to the part of the fairway that juts out right.  This creates an angle to have a straight shot into the green.  If you come up short and left, you’ll have a difficult curved driver shot around the hill, so long and right off the tee gives you the best chance.  Some setups make it very difficult to reach this area, so consider an A1-type shot with roll off the tee to get it out right without having to hit over water.

Here’s a straight 3-wood hole-out to a front-center pin.  Here’s a driver with some nice curve into a left pin.

Some looks from the front/left side of the box offer you a straight shot at the green, because a 6-wood or high-teed 5-wood has enough loft to get over that first tree.  From the left-center of the box, this high-teed 5-wood took straight aim over the top to a right pin and found the hole!  And this high-teed 6-wood went right over even more trees.

Other times, you’ll have to play a slight curve and hope to settle on the island green for a putt.  This 5-wood found a back-left pin, and this low-teed 6W played a small curve and backspun into a front-right pin.

Finally, this 5-wood was much too long but got an incredible deflection up off the back wall to find the cup!

If the pin is in the middle/back, it’s often a soft 9-iron with no spin — here’s an example ace.  With a strong head wind, this 9-iron played it perfectly to a right pin.  So did this 9-iron to a front pin.

Especially if the wind is in your face with a back-center pin placement, you may consider clubbing up and chipping a low-lofted shot into the green instead.  Here’s a great 3-wood chip that finds the hole!
