Thoughts on 1 and 2.
1) Easiest tee shot on planet Earth? Probably. Well, that is unless you want to make birdie. I think with modern technology it is less important to challenge the lake to have an easier approach and I can only remember one or two times I've been left of the left-most bunker. But it does help. The most prevalent play is to aim dead at the green and bang away. If you carry the bunkers, great, if not, good luck with a 50 yd pitch uphill to a green sloping away. The 1st green is likely your first chance to putt for the day. It's a subtle green (comparatively) that crowns on the highpoint of the hole. I've found that the back right pin is toughest to dial in. But it's the easiest to hole out from if slightly off the green. In the normal game, par wins it 50% of the time.
2) Another open drive, but again, unless you really prefer the right side. This theme pops up again and again at Wolf. Driving to the most preferred fairway position will require some guts and execution. Keeping the ball in play requires nothing but a passable golf swing. More troubling is that the preferred fairway position changes day-to-day, hole-per-hole even, based on winds and where Don or Robert cut the hole. Another theme introduced on the 2nd fairway that pops up again and again is uneven lies. This is more than unexpected based on the topography in this part of Texas. Mike and Don created some fascinating fairway movement that seamlessly blends into the existing movement around the creekbed and the man-made central lake. This serves two purposes. The first is that (obviously) it brings interest and challenge to the golf course, furthering bolstering the links motif at Wolf. But secondly--and I think Don would argue more importantly--it greatly enhances the surface movement of water. Being a flat site, helping surface drainage where possible was an obvious goal of the build.
Back to the 2nd hole. Once you decide where you're going to drive the ball (a full 80 yds of width and therefore decisions await), you're left with a slightly uphill approach to the horseshoe green. This green grows on me every visit. It, like many other greens at Wolf, falls off on the sides using a a sort of "potato chip" shape. Managing the miss of this green is crucial. Miss on the side opposite the hole and good luck. Missing off the green on the same side as the hole is far more preferable to hitting the center of the green, well above the hole. Yet another theme--knowing how and where to miss with all of the room out there--that makes Wolf so special.
