The tee shot on this hole requires accuracy and distance. With an average drive of only 217 yards, our golfer will need to use their driver to reach the fairway. However, be careful not to hit too far left as there is a slight dogleg left that could result in hitting into trees or rough.
Once in the fairway, golfers should aim for the center of this large green which measures at approximately 5220 square feet. There are two greenside bunkers that come into play but they only make up about 2% of total bunker coverage on this hole.
Weather conditions can greatly impact how players approach this hole. In hot summer months with high humidity and wind coming off nearby lakes, balls may fly further than expected due to reduced air density at sea level. Conversely, cooler temperatures during winter months may cause balls to travel shorter distances.
Based on these factors and our golfer's average club distances, we recommend using a driver off the tee followed by either a long iron or hybrid for your approach shot depending on weather conditions and personal preference.
Overall, Hole #1 at TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) sets an exciting tone for what's sure to be an enjoyable round ahead!
