Yeeeeeeeeeeeep. It’s like there is a damn magnet over there.
But visually off the tee, it makes you want to NOT go left, even though there’s more room that it looks like

A ton of room. I feel like I got talked into going right every time lol. Maybe that's not the best way to phrase it, but I definitely should have gone with my gut and taken the left route.

100%
I played left one time, and had a GREAT birdie look
Every other time? We be scrambling. Haha
Driver to the right and having a wedge into the green sounds like the best play for me.

That is if you even find the damn ball. Blech. This hole began my downfall in singles against @AuzzieMatt . 9 put the first nail in the coffin.
The forecaddies are great at Hawking ( see what i did there) golf balls but not over this hill. Go to far right, just grab a second ball before your walk because you're mostly likely dropping on that hillside.
I’m going driver straight up the right side. Short wedge in and hopefully a good birdie look. Definitely walking away with Par here.
I hate this effin hole so much. I was on the hill somewhere. The ball is probably still there.
If anyone finds a ball that looks like the one below...I don't want it back!

You were damn near on 9 if I recall correctly lol.
I was actually in an ok spot in the rough by the creek. However, the ball was a bit buried and I proceeded to poop all over myself.

Lots of spice coming to this hole.
Shot Scope said 230+ (like others said) obviously it depends on where we tee off - but if you've got the length it's there for you.
the options on this hole and the discussion makes me think it would be an awesome hole for playing a shamble.
Day one, blasted right and ended up by goat trak tees.
Day two, driver was good, over the hill and finding fairway. *we don't talk about the chip that almost went in the trap.
I drove #9 pretty well. I know in Alt shot, Connie and I actually used my tee ball.
It was a great putt after all of us sent our drives up the hillside.
2nd day during singles I drove the ball to the front edge of the green right next to @J4U

Hmm, if only that were an option!the options on this hole and the discussion makes me think it would be an awesome hole for playing a shamble.
I’m saddened by the hate for this hole.. it’s my favorite in there. I played it -1 for my 2 rounds in 2022. Went left both times w/ driver (not a long hitter). One day I had a 9I in and one day a wedge. Hit the wedge close for birdie. I might be +4 in August here but for rt now I

It was a beautiful shot my man! So much fun brotha!
I'd certainly be going to the left and I would guess I get on in 2 or 3 and probably make a bogey! I might not like to hit a blind tee shot, but it sure looks cool from off the tee in that photo.
Tough to say...it's a par or an 8. The smart play is 2i to the left fairway with a short iron in, but not a lot of room to miss. My driver miss is right, so just sending it out there even with a side hill lie might be the play; aim at the tree and fade it. Tough hole.
Right side bomb. Did this 2x and it is the play. There really isn't a good option for me to go left. Going right there is trouble but if you hit it well then there is really no reason not to do it
See bolded
I bunt a drive down the left side and short iron, wedge in. As others have noted too far right off the tee and forget abut it.
