Wilderness 6

6
Par 4, 305 yards.

Here begins a series of monotonous straightaways with minimal trees--or what would be monotonous if I could hit it as straight as the holes are cut. I almost wonder if this is the best layout, given that there's a dense clump of woods in the middle of the property that is going unused except for being a barrier for the 4th and 5th holes.

Since there's no punishment for losing it left, I pull out my driver and plant the ball square in the middle of the 7th fairway. From there it's just a 9-iron, but I leave it short and have to scoop my sand wedge onto the green, where I two-putt. 5.
