The first hole at Hell's Point is a very playable par five featuring one of the larger greens on the course and showcasing Rees Jones' signature sculptured bunkers.

The Drive
Although the opening hole doglegs slightly to the right, there is little to be gained by playing down the right side. Virginia hardwoods and tall pines line the rough and several large willows guard the right side of the fairway. On the left side, large mounds roll along the rough's edge about 220 yards from the tee. The best tee shot is a slight fade just inside those mounds.

The Approach
The longest hitters may be able to reach this green in two. Otherwise be sure to keep your second shot well short of the sculptured bunkers guarding the fairway, which narrows near the green. You will be left with a 80-120 yard approach to the deep but narrow green which can be hard to hold with less than a crisply hit shot.

The Green
Two-tiered and thirty yards deep, the green is proteced on both sides by deep bunkers. This green is only 18 yards wide at its widest point.
