Timberlake Country Club in Chapin sits along the shoreline of Lake Murray, and the setting is evident from the opening tee.
The first hole is a short par 4 that plays as a gentle introduction to a course with more demanding holes to follow. Lake Murray borders the right side of the fairway while a steep bank falls away on the left, placing a premium on an accurate tee shot. A short iron approach is left into a green that slopes to the right toward a deep greenside bunker, and the difficulty of the putting surface varies considerably with the day's pin position.
