Quick Caddie Tip

Field Notes
The tee shot plays downhill toward Shawnee Run Creek, which cuts across the fairway in front of the green. How aggressively you play the hole comes down to when you choose to cross it.
Once across, the approach climbs back uphill to a 34-yard deep green protected by bunkers, so take enough club to finish the job.
- The creek crosses in front of the green, so club your layup to leave a full, comfortable number.
- The approach plays uphill. Take one extra club than you think you need.
- Bunkers guard the green on both sides, so a straight number beats an aggressive line.
- Long hitters can be tempted to reach the green in two, but the creek makes this a low-percentage play.
Putting Tips
This green sits well above the creek and tends to play firmer than it looks, especially on approach putts.
- The green runs subtly toward the creek, so respect that lower break on longer putts.
- Elevated greens like this one often play faster than expected. Take a smooth practice stroke before committing.
- Uphill approach putts need extra pace. Do not leave yourself short.
- When the pin is back, plan for a longer two-putt rather than forcing a risky first putt.
