Hole No. 1
Gradually climbing away from the clubhouse this par 5 offers a classic risk and reward strategy. A generous fairway with room to the right, the ideal line is the left hand side of the fairway which brings the out of bounds into play which runs down the left hand side.
A dry stone wall gives players pause for thought on the second shot with the wall slanting across the fairway making distance perception difficult.
The green is defended by two greenside bunkers each side of the front of the green making the safe option the back of the green, but leaving a tricky downhill putt on a green sloping from back to front.
A deceptive opening hole that can be more dangerous than it looks.
