Hole 1

Par 4   312 yards   Stroke Index 15

The first hole offers a relatively easy introduction to Coulsdon Court. The drive should leave you a short iron into the green but if you hook the drive there is trouble with a bunker or for the longer hitters trees on your left. A slice, although putting you into the well spaced trees on the right, should still give you a shot into the green unless you are really unlucky. Your second short iron is into a green protected by bunkers both left and right and sloping severely from back to front. Many a new player has seen his ball rush several feet past when putting from above the hole.
