This is our first par 5. Don't let the yardage or layout fool you, this should be a birdie hole, but even the slightest miscue can leave you with a tough par chance or worse. Playing from the up tees, longer hitters could be tempted to hit driver here. This club selection is a risk/reward decision; longer hitters will have plenty of distance but the slightest pull can lead to an out of bounds penalty. But, if you are accurate with this aggressive play, a wedge second shot awaits and gives you a great opportunity for eagle. Pro's tip: Leave the driver play for scrambles and skins games; if you are playing for score, simply hit a mid-iron to short-iron to the bottom and try to make eagle the old fashioned way.with a long iron or hybrid.
