I would not pay too much attention to cdognight’s tip (no offense) — pretty sure if he has played the course a few more times he would also recognize that a birdie on #1 is a rare sight. Golfguru’s tip is pretty spot on with my experience. A par here is gaining at least a stroke on the field and a bogey is solid. The hard part (after hitting a 250-yard drive in the center of the fairway) is the uphill and blind second shot of 180-190 yards. Any shot that ends up in birdie-able distance is pure luck for even a 5-handicapper. Avoiding the right side of the fairway and approach is key to this hole.
