HOLE ONE - Par 4 - 408 yards: Bending from right to left, the opening hole on the Straits Course gives the player his first glimpse of mighty Lake Michigan, not to mention the myriad bunkers strewn across the course. Hitting to the right-center fairway, avoiding the dunes and bunkers, will leave the best angle of approach to a well-guarded green. The 31-yard-long putting surface is fairly benign, but missing right and long will leave a difficult up-and- down from a shaved chipping area. Oh, and by the way, the hole can be stretched to 491 yards.
