Hole 1 at The Grand Golf Club is a 383 yard par 4 with a slight dogleg left. From the championship tees, it has an approximate fairway width of 33 yards and two bunkers that make up 1% of the green area. This hole can be challenging for players of all levels due to its length and curvature. With an average drive distance of 217 yards, you will need to hit your driver well off the tee in order to have a good approach shot into the green. During different times of year (spring, summer, fall and winter) local weather conditions such as altitude, temperature and wind may affect how far your ball travels so it's important to take these factors into consideration when selecting which club to use on your tee shot. After reaching the fairway with your drive you'll still have 140-150 yards remaining for your approach shot depending on which teebox you choose; this should be within reach for most golfers using either their 7 iron or pitching wedge.

Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Take into account the local weather conditions, such as altitude, temperature and wind when selecting which club to use for your tee shot in order to maximize distance off the tee.
2. Aim for the center of the fairway with your drive; it will give you a better angle on your approach shot into the green and help avoid bunkers that make up 1% of the green area.
3. Use either a 7 iron or pitching wedge for your approach shot after reaching the fairway as this should be within reach for most golfers given an average drive distance of 217 yards and 140-150 yards remaining depending on which teebox you choose.
4. Be mindful of where hazards are located throughout each hole so that you can plan accordingly before hitting any shots; this will help reduce risk and improve scoring potential.
