Hole 1

464 Yards I 424 Meters I Par 4

“A new bunker has been added in the right half of the fairway, so the tee shot now requires most players to lay-up with a long iron to leave a 6 or 7 iron into the green. However, long hitters could attempt to carry the bunker at 305 yards. The difficulty of this hole is around the green – the back pin positions are generous and offer good birdie chances but the front positions are very difficult.  You certainly don’t want to short-side yourself as it is a very narrow target and difficult to get the ball to stop on the very front plateau and not run away 30 or 40 feet,” – Padraig Harrington
