Trent park North London

I've played quite a few times there as I used to get free golf at TP when it was still run by Crown.

Good quality muni course with some lovely trees, many of which sit right in the way of your tee shot.
I really like the course but the clubhouse feels like you are likely to get a beer glass smashed over your head- it's a bit rough!
 
That first hole is a killer

Last time I was there, it looked like they were building a new tee down at the corner of the dogleg, maybe making it a par 3.
Agree that it's a daft opening hole and causes a backlog from the off with people getting their ball lost amongst the sliced range balls, and having no clue when the people ahead are out of range.
It would be so much better as a par 3 or 4

A yellow ball off the tee is a must!
I do think its a very fun hole though. Its pretty unusual and its a par5 that you can reach in two very easily.
