Hole 1
A long opening hole that usually plays into the prevailing wind. Playing it as a par-5 is advisable and relishing a rare 4 is enjoyable. The undulating fairway has no bunkers, nor does the green; this hole doesn't need them, but sloping stances and unpredictable bounces introduce the basic elements of pure links golf. The green site, surrounded by humps and hollows is the first of many where the flag is visible but the putting surface itself can be blind to the approach; such visual trickery makes distance judgement difficult and is a quirky feature of traditional links golf.
