The Carrick

Hole 1 : Par 429 yards Par 4

A tough opening hole, with a slight left to right dog-leg. An attempt to squeeze your drive down the right hand side will give you the most straightforward approach to the green, although be aware of the water hazard hugging the right hand side of the fairway. Aiming for the left hand side, you risk going into one of four bunkers, strategically positioned to catch any slightly pulled tee shot. Remember the putting surface is angled to reward the brave who take the riskier approach from the tee and succeed.
