With the clubhouse behind you, a broad fairway welcomes your opening drive on this first hole here at Kingsdown. However the fairway narrows at about 250 yards which means you’ll need an accurate second shot to get you to land on the green – which is not easy – as the entrance is narrow with bunkers ready to catch your ball on either side. As for the green – it’s pretty flat, with some subtle slopes.
