Number one doglegs left around a large bunker located some 235 yards from the tee, with a carry of 250 yards needed to clear it from the back tee. The fairway then slopes down gently before rising more sharply in front of an elevated green that is flanked on the right and left by large, deep bunkers. The green slopes from back to front, which can be a factor for the aggressive golfer who is long with his approach. The first plays tough, said the USGA’s Executive Director, P. J. Boatwright, because the green is elevated. This has the effect of lengthening the hole beyond its 435 yards. Toughest hole locations are in the front and right.
