Hole 1 Discussion

Lauriston, named for the adjacent farm and castle, is a slight dogleg right par 4. On the tee shot, there's a fairway bunker on the right side, that makes cutting the corner more dangerous. The fairway slopes a bit left-to-right, so it can add a bit more risk to the bunker. The approach plays into a narrow, well bunkered green, that drops off on the right side. Two bunkers short right, and two flanking the back of the green.
