The fairway slopes from left to right and downhill. The ideal tee shot should be to the right half of the fairway, opening up the hole for your second. Tee shots left, can get blocked out by the trees, or bring the first pond at the left dog leg into play for the longer hitters. Most will lay up here in front of the second pond, being wary of the stream to the left, and the bunker on the right. The ideal layup would be to the right of the fairway, to give you the best view of the green for your approach shot; to avoid the two deep greenside bunkers.
