Club selection is critical in dealing with wind and in hitting a green that is narrow from front to back. A water hazard adds to the difficulty of the hole, but a closer look is likely to yield good results. Cattails are the perch of choice for red-winged blackbirds establishing a territory. This very picturesque hole may play somewhat shorter from its elevated tee than indicated by the yardage, however, your tee shot must be accurate. A miss to the right will land you in a large water hazard.
Swallows are, again, frequently sighted near their rocky nesting area.
Maple trees, at home on the berm behind this green, provide nesting habitat for western orioles and to the right of the green you'll notice the first of our martin houses. The back right pin placement makes this a tough tee shot, but a somewhat shallow green with a deep and difficult front bunker demands accuracy in order to achieve good position. Maple and redbud trees populate the berm to the left of this hole, with pine and cedar making frequent appearances. This strong hole generally hits into the wind and is elevated all the way to the two-tiered green. Little or no roll probability makes solid contact a must.
