Hole #2
420 yards, Par 4 - #1 Handicap

After warming up on the par five opening hole, you immediately play into the teeth of the course on the #1 handicap second hole, a dogleg right, 420 yard par four. Seventy-foot high eucalyptus trees and an in-course out-of-bounds guard the right side of the tee while water runs the entire length of the hole on the left side.

You will need to shape your tee shot around the corner of the dogleg or face a 200+ yard second shot into the prevailing wind. The approach leaves little room for error as the lake on the left curls in toward the trees fronting the right side of the green, narrowing the slot for a run-up shot to just nine yards.

A good strategy to stay out of trouble may be to play this as a three shot hole and hope for a one putt. Consider bogey a good score.
