Hole 1

Par 5 • 527 yards

The first of two Quaker Ridge par fives will favor the player who can keep his tee shot in the air for 250 yards. The fairway plateaus at that point and an extra 25-30 yards will be gained by those who can carry the "up-slope." An ominous cross bunker about 50 yards short of the green will force other players to lay up and play a wedge into one of the course's most difficult greens.  The green slopes severely from back to front and has no easy pin position.
