Description Mackenzie, Tillinghast and other classic golf course architects always wanted the players to ease into their rounds. At Carambola, Jones took the same approach on the first. A mid-length par 4, the driving area is generous off the tee even though trees are present on both sides. The Bunkers on the right side force the play to the left for average players. However, the longer hitters are tempted to play over the bunkers, which would leave a very short second shot. Right out of the chute the classic dogleg is present. The green is well defined by bunkers. The shorter hitters have an alley to run shots onto the putting surface. The slightly two-tiered green places a premium on putting from the outset. This hole represents the course to come by establishing “Strategic” golf right from the beginning.
