The Brook, Hole 1
Number One Brook is our longest par five. If you intend to arrive in two shots, the left side of the fairway is the side to favor. You will see two shoulder bunkers out there in the landing area on either side of the fairway. The left side tends to be drier and and therefore you’ll enjoy more roll. If you are going to attempt to hit your second shot on the green, you’ll notice the water on the right. Obviously that’s no good. You can’t play it from there. So favor the left side of the green. If you hit a great shot down there, you can certainly get on this green in two. If you’re going to lay up, the hundred yard mark is perfect. The green is fairly well guarded with bunkers in the front, on the left and in the back – but the green is big enough if you’re hitting a third shot in with a wedge, you should have a reasonable chance to get it close and hopefully give yourself a birdie putt.
