Hole 2
Westward
The second hole is the only hole on the course that faces west, into the prevailing winds and is a challenge par 4, especially from the back tees.
Pro Tips
A long hitter may opt to play over the first set of fairway bunkers, but for most, a long second shot is needed to reach the green, which has bunkers on both sides, and is notoriously difficult to hold.
A less risky approach is to play short of the green with the second, to chip and hole out for a par. A par here is a great result.
