Hole 1 | A Risk & Reward Start
Our course opens with a risk and reward Par 4 — a relatively straightforward hole on a calm day, but one that presents a very different challenge when playing into the wind.
The temptation is to take driver and get as far down the hole as possible, with the brave even able to reach the putting surface. But with Out of Bounds just left of the fairway, a slight misjudgement can quickly lead to three off the tee.
The pear-shaped green is no easier, with two deep bunkers biting into the putting surface and leaving only a narrow entrance. Three further fairway bunkers await a sliced drive, while a grass hollow on the left catches the hooked shot.
The key? An accurately placed tee shot, leaving a straight approach to the pin.
A challenging opening hole that immediately asks you to decide: take it on or lay up? ⛳
