HOLE 1 - She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
One of the most open holes on the course, hole 1 works
well as a good warm up for what's to come. A well played tee shot will flirt with the right side of or
be centered between the treed window working right to left and setting under the yellow ribboned pin.
There is a good chance for an ace, especially with a skip, but there's a little barricade protecting that
nice hop from the front right.

HOLE 2 - The Unforgiven
Hole 2 allows for a couple options off the tee, giving both lefties and righties a fair chance
for a tightly played hyzer shot to the blind, sunken green. Pay attention to the trees and flag
pole located next to the pin. If too powerful of a shot, players may get their first introduction
to Lambs Creek and will not be forgiven.

HOLE 3 - Death Valley
Similar in feel to the topography of the Devil's Punchbowl, hole 3 sets up a short
drive to an extremely undulating green, which, if not played smartly can leave a bitter
taste in the mouth. Either an S curve into the side of the hill or a punch approach will
work, but the risk of a strongly fading right to left shot may leave a near vertical uphill
putt or worse, a wet disc.

HOLE 4 - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
With three distinct lanes to choose from, golfers are forced to decide what type of risk
they want to face. The safest shot off the tee is a wide swooping right to left that descends
down the hillside towards an approach area. The upshot that is left, however, is quite dangerous
with water being the backdrop directly behind the basket. The middle lane is a narrow serpentine
adjacent to the creek that risks nasty kicks but if executed correctly can provide a safer putt at
birdie or par. Finally, the path with the greatest risk/reward flying left to right directly over
top of the brook is moderate in width but offers a great shot at an ace or an easy park. Which
one is the good, which one is the bad, and which one is the ugly is up to the eye of the beholder.

HOLE 5 - Blazing Saddles
This tight little pucker hole is comprised by a skinny left to right mirrored
by a skinny right to left squeezed between two rows of foliage with several mature trees
lining the middle. To add to the theatrics, players must work their way up the steep
hillside by traversing two levels of knolls to reach a treacherously fast green.

HOLE 6 - The Last Watering Hole
Reaching the last of the creek's harsh consequences, players who dare to
go for it are challenged by a long carry over water to a narrow green with no
room for error short or left. A more conservative approach is to take a left to right
flight path over dry ground on the left side of the creek followed by an escalating
approach to the perched pin.

HOLE 7 - Hellbent
A sigh of relief after the last of the water, players can now start to flex
their shots wide. This hard bending right to left requires either a large skip or the
proper combination of elevation and angle on a hyzer to reach the metal cage. Players
that go too far left off the drive or overshoot their putt/approach will be facing a
tricky uphill putt to save the shot.

HOLE 8 - Desperado
A good compliment to Hellbent, hole 8 is a wide left to right that requires even more
precision and emphasis on a highly elevated throw to nestle on top of the hill far right.
Discs that stray too far right and short may find themselves in some murky areas. Players
will have to be bold, but definitely not reckless.

HOLE 9 - Rough Riders Roundup
This is the finishing hole of the round that tests the straight and narrow. Make it through
the uprights with enough power to land it safely by the pin. Throw too far past and over the
fence, add a stroke penatly. Most rough riders end up at the saloon after their roundup.
