The opening hole at Valley Green requires a properly placed tee shot. A large water hazard on the right side of the fairway gathers a lot of golf balls, making this short par four a little harder than it first appears. Players will want to keep their drives toward the left side of the fairway in order to have a flat lie for their second shot. Some of the longer hitters may be able reach the hill leading up to the green, leaving them with just a pitch shot.

Here is a birdie opportunity. Although this par four hole is short, the player must hit their tee shot towards the right side of the fairway or the ball will end up in the left rough. The fairway slopes heavily towards the left side and a ball hit poorly will find tree trouble at the bottom of the hill. The green slopes severely to the front left, so staying below the hole is crucial.
