Architecture & history
Hole 1 at Pine Valley Golf Club is a 427-yard, par 4 that plays from the championship tees. It has a hard dogleg right with an approximate fairway width of 49 yards. This hole requires accuracy off the tee as any shot too far to the left will be blocked by trees and tall rough while shots to the right will end up on an uphill slope or in one of four bunkers. The green area measures 13419 square feet and there are no greenside bunkers, so players should focus their approach shots toward the center of this large target. With its length and slight elevation change, golfers may want to consider hitting a long iron or hybrid off the tee for more control into this dogleg hole. Taking into account local weather conditions across all four seasons can also help golfers plan their strategy accordingly; during colder months, altitude might affect ball flight while wind could become a factor in warmer months due to gusts coming off nearby lakes.
