The opening hole is a fine medium length par four turning from left to right. The tee shot should, ideally be shaped the same way to avoid running through the left side of the fairway.

Vern Morcom was both the architect at Spring Valley and the greenkeeper at nearby Kingston Heath and his father, Mick was the great constructor of most of Alister Mackenzie’s work in Australia.The sophistication of the Morcom family bunkering is immediately apparent at the first hole with a large and dramatic bunker guarding the left of the green.
