This opening hole has bunkers on both sides of the fairway. This slightly uphill par 4 hole is more difficult than it looks. You need to take care because there are bunkers on both sides of the green. If you can manage to drive between the bunkers with your tee shot, it is possible to reach the green in two shots with a middle iron.

Between the tee ground and just in front of the green, there are four ponds on the right, while on the left side of the fairway is sea water. This is the longest of the par 4 holes, which will require your first and second shots to be of the highest level. With the long straight driver, you need to aim a little left in order to avoid the ponds on the right. The green is surrounded by bunkers in three directions.

Originally this hole had a flat green and a small pond, making it an easy par 3 hole. After we rearranged and the pond was widened and deep bunkers were put in on the left and right, so we recommend that you use your longer club to lift the ball. To both sides and behind is out of bounds. The green slopes steeply from back to front and your ball may not stop rolling, so you need to take care.

Since there is no runoff at the back of the green, you should pitch the ball up towards the centre.
