It is an interesting first hole for the first timer. Stand on the yellow tee first and it looks a nice gentle opener and then turn round and look up the banking to the white tees.
The rough isn't too bad at the moment but it depends on how your game is and how wildly you spray it. There use to be a 28 amongst my regular Saturday group (until he got cut at last) and even on a bad day three or four maximum is the most he's ever lost. The 2nd (OB tight right) and the 3rd (longish carry) are the only two real bad holes until 16 (OB tight left) 17 (OB tight right) and and 18 which has a small carry and OB right if you hit a real bad slice (plus a pond by the green). I'm sure anyone who played the forum day will be able to give you the benefits of their experience.
