Practice areas and warm-up putting green

At the moment at the club there are two small practice areas; the first one is 150 yards from the club house, for the short game, in is stretched between the stone wall that borders the first hole and the 18th, there is a clear safety issue, because who plays the first hole can not see who is practicing there and errant drives could land in this area.

The second one is located between the third and the ninth fairways, it is 150-160 yards long and 30 yards wide, no more than 3-4 players can practice and it is placed in a dangerous position, because eventual sliced drives from the 3rd tee can land be directed there. It is located 650 yards from the club house and the players have to cross numerous holes to reach it.

Both of this areas, especially the second one do not add appeal to the club, they are in very dangerous position and eventual practice ball can be found on the course confusing players and slow down their rounds.

The practice putting green is tiny and located next to the parking, it is very near the fairway of the 11th hole, but really bad and unlucky shots can pass trough there, I do not see therefore safety issues, also because a big tree next to the tee protects this area and the parking.

First Hole

The first hole is a 352 yards par 4, it is dogleg left and it has on the left a stone wall that separate the hole to a small practice area that is blind from the tee and it is on the landing spot of eventual slightly misplaced drives; this is an out of bounds area, so the golfers are forced to play away from it, but I think that this is a safety issue that could create injuries.
