The short starting hole on the Robinson course is a friendly and forgiving par four that will help you warm up for the challenges to come.

From the tee, you have a clear view of the fairway and green, which helps calm the usual first tee jitters. Try to drive the ball straight, but I suggest you favour the right side of the fairway. This will open up the green for your approach and keep you away from the bunker that protects its front left side.

The green is a large and inviting target, but the second shot can be a challenge, especially when the pin is located at the left and front.
