Welcome to the first hole at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course (Championship)! This par 5 offers a challenging start to your round with its slight dogleg left and water hazards. With a distance of 509 yards, this hole is not for the faint of heart.
From the championship tees, you can expect an average drive of around 217 yards. Keep in mind that due to the relatively flat terrain and warm weather in Boynton Beach, Florida year-round, you may experience some extra roll on your drives. However, be aware that strong winds coming off the coast may impact your ball flight.
The fairway width is approximately 22 yards wide, so accuracy off the tee will be crucial. A well-placed drive will leave you with a long second shot into a green that measures only 4422 square feet. The green is surrounded by two bunkers but no greenside bunkers as a percentage of total area.
For most golfers, this hole plays as one of the more difficult holes on the course with a handicap rating of four. To give yourself a chance at birdie or par, we recommend using your driver off the tee followed by either a long iron or hybrid for your second shot depending on how far you hit each club.
If you are up for it and feeling confident in your abilities, going for this green in two shots could pay off big time. Just remember to take into account any wind conditions and choose an appropriate club based on how far you typically hit each one.
Overall, Hole #1 at Boynton Beach Municipal Golf Course (Championship) requires both length and precision from tee to green. Good luck!
