The No. 1 hole has the dogleg left par 4, a major test out the gate lengthened to 495 yards, posing a significant challenge right off the tee and on the approach shot. The No. 17 hole, also known as the straight up, consists of an uphill, where a tee shot must find a way to avoid the bunkers on its left and round.
The No. 16- Homestretch is the most difficult hole at Valhalla par 4 where any tee shot missed by the player will end up at a blocked shot or the creek. No. 14 is the longest par at Valhalla, featuring two bunkers in front and behind.
