Hitting the green with your tee shot is not only essential for a good score on that hole but once there it has to stay put: the green is pretty narrow with a VERY steep hill in back with trees and brush, and ( depending on how far over your ball goes) water.

For whatever reason, I’ve found #7 at El Diablo to be more difficult than #5. The hole has good distance, water, and that huge bunker on the right of the green. But the bass fishing is good in the big pond, and there is even a small parking area fisherman use across the street on Enrique Drive to access the pond. However, as other posters have said, generally speaking Pelican has the most challenging holes of any Executive course.
