Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This hole presents one of the narrowest fairways on the course. Still,
On The Green there is plenty of room between the natural sand area along the right side of the fairway and the thick dune grass bordering the left. A good drive will leave a short iron into a gently undulating green tucked into a natural dune area.
