Hole 1 Par 4 346 yards. Stroke Index 11 & 12
The 1st at Basset Down is a medium length par four, which plays with a gentle left to right dogleg. The fairway is wide and inviting and there is a bunker at 175 yards from the tee, on the left of the fairway. The green is a generous size with bunkers on the left and right. The green itself slopes up from front to back.
Pro’s playing advice
The opening tee shot is played to a generous fairway. The longer hitter will be looking to go into the green with a short iron depending on the wind. But most players will have to settle for a tee shot just left of centre. The second shot is played to a good sized green bunker either side.
