Ist Hole - Par 3 - Men 175m/130m Ladies 130m/110m
After being personally delivered by mini-bus to the first tee, you'll already have met your fellow players. The first tee is interestingly set high on a concrete platform. The view to the green reveals a small stream in front of an elevated green. To the right, a falling hill and road spell danger. If you're feeling good, (like James Brown), a strong stroke to the back and left of the green offers a big landing area and avoids the risk of the ball dropping short into the stream. The green slopes with the hill so depending on the pin position, be low rather than high (not like Robbie Burns)
