| Description |
“Such a hole gives the long man a chance to get near the green in two, with the possibility of reaching it, and the short man can always attain the distance with three reasonable strokes”.
~ George C. Thomas, Jr.,
~ Riviera’s Golf Course Architect

| How to Play |
One of America’s celebrated opening holes, the first is widely known for its elevated tee, which sits 70 feet above a narrow fairway flanked right by trees and left by rough and out-of-bounds. Tee shots finishing short of the barranca leave a long iron to an M-shaped green which is fronted by a single deep bunker, and offers numerous tricky pin placements. A birdie hole with a properly played drive, but double-bogeys have been famously carded by Tommy Armour and Fred Couples – and generations of golfers in between. |
