Opening hole tee shot

Slightly better view of ours, thats the teebox ive labelled with tiny yellow dots, the trees have grown quite a bit since this pic, it must be at least 5 years old. If you tee up too close to the left to get a view of the fairway your backswing might well hit the proshop!

thanks, I tried wrapping it with the image select option and with img; possibly there were some spaces that I missed.

interesting thing about this image is that it was cut from Google Earth but just how recent their images are I'm starting to doubt. There should be a fountain and a nest platform in the lake and a set of power lines running diagonally across the 1st and adjacent 10th about 70 m from the tee - I know, I've hit them (local rule, reload - no penalty).
 
It's not often we play a course with a par 3 opening hole, can't think of any localy. Maybe Brendy knows 1 or 2.
I'm of the mind thinking that if we were able to stand up with the big driver on the 1st tee we could possibly get a feel of the way we're going to play on the said day.

With our 1st hole anything from a 5 iron to a 5 wood will get us to where we're happy to be, as long as we miss the bunker.
We will be changing our 1st hole this year as we have sold a plot of land and we need to change it. Maybe then the driver will be out a bit more, I dont think it will be.
 
Possibly Crossgar from memory also.

Blimey. I didn't even realise that Crossgar *had* a golf course.

Bentra has a par 3 for openers, up in Whitehead. That's where I struck my first shot in anger on an actual golf course.
 
Crossgar has a golf course (9 holer) but its nothing to write home about.
Lurgan Park has a very short par4 as does Belvoir Park for an opener, both are driveable.
 
One that MWJ would probably know - Mid Kent near Rochester. Opening hole 157 yd par 3. The 3rd hole, a par 5, was where I got my 1st ever eagle (lucky bounce off a mound at the side of the green so no skill involved). I was a visitor so couldn't claim local knowledge or member's bounce. :)
 
At Dartmouth GC (West Bromwich) we get a nice easy start. A 616 yard par 5 with OB all the way down the left and a fairway that resembles a rollercoaster for most of its length.

Hopefully by the summer we will have a new back tee making the hole around 670 yards!
