The Key to a good opening hole is for the hole to play so that the golfer can get off to a good start. This shot par 5 offers a wide fairway for the tee shot. Avoiding the left-hand fairway bunker is the key off the tee. If the fairway is hit off the tee, then the green can easily be reached in two with a fairway wood or long iron, but the multiple bunkers surrounding the second landing area and green must be avoided. If the golfer chooses to lay up with their second shot, a relatively simple pitch shot awaits them for their third shot.
