I think this is a wonderful starting hole. It's got a raised-shelf fairway, bunkers on the left and a large green. It's the type of hole where what you see is what you get.
I don't know if we'll ever use the farthest back tee here, because it's a 240-yard carry over the water and about 270 to the fairway.
You can hit your tee shot either a little left to right, or right to left, the fairway will accept either one.
It's a mid to short iron into a slightly two-tiered green that has excellent pin placements. You can toughen this one up as much as you want. Put the pin back in that right corner, and you've got yourself a very difficult second shot.
The undulation around this green is severe. You need a lot of imagination to get the ball up and down, especially if you miss the green on the flagstick side.
There's only one sand bunker on this hole, but that's all you need with this much undulation around the green.
This is a very comfortable starting hole!
