Course Specifications |
HOLE NO. 1 | A gentle opener. This par five heads north west and depending on the wind direction, the bigger hitters have the chance to get home in two. |
HOLE NO. 2 | A demanding tee shot with a mid to long iron, played into the west. |
HOLE NO. 3 | Another par five heading back toward the clubhouse. This is a three shotter and length and accuracy are called for here in order to avoid the bunkers at the 100 yard mark. |
HOLE NO. 4 | A slight dogleg to the left par four with a strategically placed bunker at the corner. From the back tees, the trees on the left hand side prevent any shortening of the dog-leg and demand that the hole is played as intended. |
HOLE NO. 5 | A sharp dogleg to the right par four. No point in cutting the corner here with the tee shot as the ball will, more than likely find a bunker or alternatively leave a tricky approach over bunkers to an exceptionally well protected green. |
HOLE NO. 6 | A picturesque up-hill par three. A medium iron will suffice but the green is heavily sloped and well protected with mounds and bunkers. |
HOLE NO. 7 | Accuracy from the tee is necessary to avoid the bunkers flanking either side of the landing area. The green is shallow from front to back and calls for a well struck approach shot that will sit quickly on landing. |
HOLE NO. 8 | A long, demanding par four which depending on the wind, will require two good shots to get on this green. |
HOLE NO. 9 | Another tough par four. A well struck tee-shot will leave a mid iron to a heavily bunkered, raised green. Allow an extra club as the bunker on the front left of the green will catch shots that fall short of the putting surface. |
HOLE NO. 10 | This nine also sets off with a par five, played directly into the southwest. This is a reachable par 5 for the longer hitters but the fairway narrows the closer you get to the green. The decision will depend on the wind. |
HOLE NO. 11 | A gentle dogleg par four with OB on the right. If you skirt with the OB, you are rewarded with an easier second shot as the green is angled. If you take the safe line from the tee, you are left with a tricky second over bunkers to the shallow side of the green. |
HOLE NO. 12 | A par three which is normally wind assisted. Avoid the temptation to go for the pins as the bunkers will invariably grab a wayward shot. |
HOLE NO. 13 | A par four with a very tight fairway and a well protected, sloped green. Avoid the temptation to overpower the hole. A right to left ball flight is an advantage on tee shot and approach shot. |
HOLE NO. 14 | A lond demanding uphill par four with to an elevated green with out of bounds on the right all the way. |
HOLE NO. 15 | The tee shot is generous here as the shorter the approach the better. The green slopes down to the lake so any the bale out is to the right where bunkers lies in wait. |
HOLE NO. 16 | Fun and games here. A demanding iron shot to a green with water right up to the front. Bunkers will catch over hit shots. |
HOLE NO. 17 | A meandering par five with bunkers to catch stray tee shots and second shots. This is a serious three shotter and the third needs to be well advanced and on the left side of the fairway. Anything other than a short iron will find it difficult to find the green. |
HOLE NO. 18 | A long, testing par four. Ideally, the tee shot should make up a lot of ground and be aimed up the left side of the fairway. A bunker short of the green on the right side will catch most shots that run out of steam. |
