HOLE DESCRIPTION
Par: 5 Yards: 567
Reachable in two by the long hitters if playing with the prevailing wind, the opening hole offers a good birdie opportunity, but out of bounds on the left and the fairway bunkers make the drive the premium shot. Pin placement here will also dictate going for the green or laying up in position. At 150 feet front-to-back, with multiple tiers, the green could leave the long hitter with a virtually impossible eagle effort. In fact, the front of the green is so undulating that it is rare to ever find a pin positioned there. Sam Snead once hit a sand wedge from the front of the green to a back pin position rather than risking a long putt.
