From the tee, this hole is dominated by a large Maple overhanging the right side of the landing area. Aim to the fairway bunkers on the left and fade your drive. This will avoid the Maple. Higher handicappers may simply play down the left side to avoid the overhanging tree. A drive into the right rough and trees often leaves no clear shot to the green, as a cluster of Douglas Firs further down the fairway screen the view of the green. An approach shot that is long on this green will result in another difficult chip up a fairly steep slope.
