Par 4 • 428 Yards • Irving, Texas

Enhanced Content

Tough

The #1 handicap hole at Las Colinas Country Club demands respect from the opening tee shot. This 428-yard par 4 presents a deceptively challenging test with its straight layout that offers no room for error. The absence of traditional hazards makes precision and course management paramount, as players must navigate to an optimal position for their approach to the small, well-protected green complex.

The tee shot requires careful club selection to find the ideal angle into the putting surface, while the approach shot demands pinpoint accuracy to a compact target that penalizes anything less than stellar execution. What makes this Las Colinas hole particularly memorable is how it strips golf down to its purest form – rewarding only the most disciplined swings and strategic thinking.
