Swan Creek's opening hole offers one of the better birdie opportunities on the course, but there is just enough danger to easily turn a bird into a bogey. This dogleg left provides players with an important choice right from the start. Drive it straight and safe to the middle of the dogleg and you have a 140-150 yard iron into the spacious but rolling green. Bigger hitters will want to challenge the fairway bunker that guards the lefthand corner of the dogleg. Clearing it leaves a mere hi-loft wedge to the green and the possibility of a birdie start. Fail to clear the bunker and you may find yourself blasting out of the face, making bogey a real possibility.
"Kemper's Turn" takes its name from course superintendent Kemper Westfall. The house sitting to the left of the first green was built by Kemper and his wife, Wendi, and was the first house built in the Swan Creek Fairways Development.
