The toughest thing about this hole is that it’s the first.

It’s a short par four, with plenty of room on the fairway.  But with the parking lot on your left, and spectators around the tee, it’s a relief to get that first drive behind you.  On your approach shot you have to carry a bunker tucked in at the front of the green.  The putting surface is slightly elevated at the back, and slopes toward the front.

If you can control the first-hole jitters, you have a good chance to start your round with a par – or even a birdie.
