Hole 9 Discussion

Big dogleg left, all downhill after the midway point of the hole. There is a large landing area at the turning point with bunkers as a backstop for long straight drives. A long drive just over the tall trees on the left edge - or a power draw around them - will extend the drive down the hill a bit, and provides the risk-reward shot into a par 5 green right behind the clubhouse for all the glory the turn could ever offer. This will require hitting from a downhill lie with a long carry over the edge of a lake. A safer route (from the top of the hill) is to hit a mid iron down the hill right of the pair of fairway bunkers to the lay up area to safely land aboard the correct half of a double - but well divided - green. The putting surface pulls towards the lake back-to-front, making overshooting the green difficult to get up-and-down from.
