This
is a straight
fairway over a small valley with a bunder in front protecting the green, which
slopes towards front and sides. There are trees just to the left
front of the green that will catch wayward shots. The
woods to the left should not come into play from this tee. Wind
will affect any shot as wind from the left (east) tends to knock
the ball down due to the woods while wind from the right (west)
will move it left as expected. As the north-south fairway
is open with no woods impeding, any wind into you will require
an extra club and sometimes two and vice versa, if the wind is
with you, it will take a club less but rarely more than one
club. If you're not on the green, you want to be in front of the
green. The green slopes back to front and there is a
fall-off at the back of the green making a chip shot very
difficult. There is an alternate white
tee box for #1 that is approximately 25 yards longer. If
the white tee is setup here, then you have a narrow shot into
the green with trees coming into play both left and right.
The bunder comes into play for any shot left of the green. |
