From there you're still looking straight uphill, and again, local knowledge is helpful to give you an idea of how far to lay-up for your third shot. The green is large but two-tiered, so it's essential to choose the right club for your approach. The same ridge that you'll trudge up on the eighth gives you a break on nine. The tee shot drops about 40 feet, making this 428 yard par four play much shorter. There's water on the tee shot long and right, and a bunker to the left, but a lot of room in between.
Second shots are slightly uphill, and the green's protected by bunkers left and right.
Ten is considered Forest Green's signature hole. It's a 576 yard steep dogleg left. Tee off over a mowed ravine, and if you're able to hit a nice draw, you might be able to cut the corner. The hole drops 80 feet in elevation from tee to green, so if you're long and know where to aim, it's possible to reach it in two. You won't be able to see the putting surface on your second ball, so you better have a good idea of where to place the shot.
