Hole #6 as an additional option if you enter the penalty area behind the green. Hole #7 if your ball is in either the penalty area on the right, or left of the cart path. Hole #8 if your ball does not cross either penalty area on the left or right. Hole #9 if your ball ends up in the rocks behind the green – the drop area is located behind the 18^th green. Hole #13 if your ball ends up behind the green in “pine cone valley”. Hole #18 if your ball ends up long of the green in the rocks or in the hitting nets – the drop area is located close to the starter’s shack. Using any of these drop areas comes with a one stroke penalty.
