The opening hole on the Himalayas offers a very generous driving area but beware of the tiny pot bunker in the middle of the fairway. Once this tee shot has been negotiated a mid iron shot awaits to a smallish green. Accuracy is key with the second shot as out of bounds lies to the left of the green and a sleepered bunker will catch those miss hit second shots.

Pro's tip
The opening hole on the Himalayas is a gentle start to a tough 9 holes. Players must avoid the small pot bunker by playing out to the newly extended left side of the fairway. After playing for position off the tee, players must be aware of the out of bounds lying left of the green and the sleepered bunker waiting for approach shots bailing out to the right. This is a great chance to get off to a good start before a tough stretch of holes.
