Country Club at Muirfield Village Hole by Hole - 1st Hole

The first hole at Country Club at Muirfield Village is a par 4, measuring 411 yards from the championship tees. The fairway curves slightly to the left and has an average width of 42 yards. There are four bunkers on the hole, with one greenside bunker as a percent of total. This hole plays slightly downhill and can be reached in two shots for longer hitters. However, players should be aware that wind conditions vary greatly throughout the year due to seasonal changes in temperature and altitude; during peak summer months, gusts may affect ball flight up to 10-15%. A safe tee shot should favor the right side of the fairway leaving a mid iron approach into this large green (7277 sq ft). Players with shorter drives should stay short of the bunkers off the tee while still leaving themselves enough room for their second shot.
