Holes 1 & 10

HOLES 1 & 10 - 384 metres par 4 index 4 & 5 A challenging hole. A slight dogleg left with out of bounds on the right, and a row of trees on the left hand side of the fairway. A high bank on the right hand side of the fairway makes the landing zone reasonably tight. A good drive will leave you a mid to long iron into a green 21 metres wide and 13 metres deep protected by a deep bunker in the front left of the green. A bank at the rear of the green makes for longer rather than shorter approaches the best option. There is a water hazard some 50 metres short and left of the green.

SMALL: A well-placed drive is the key to making par here.

Holes 2 & 11

HOLES 2 & 11 ( 2 – 329  metres & 11 - 350 metres) par 4 index 10 & 9  Hole 2 has a slight dogleg right and hole 11 is straight with water on the right hand side of the fairway. The fairway is generously wide and a good drive will only leave you with a short to mid iron into a green 17 metres wide and 13 metres deep, with bunkers on the right and left of the green. A bank at the rear of the green encourages approach shorts to be longer rather than shorter.

TIP: A drive of 220 to 230 metres in the centre of the fairway sets up par and birdie chances here.

Holes 3 & 12

HOLES 3 & 12 – 315 metres par 4 index 11 & 12
A dog leg left from an elevated tee with a water hazard approximately 120 metres from the tee across the fairway and then circumnavigating the bottom and right hand side of the fairway together with a row of trees on the left hand side of the fairway complicated by out of bounds from the water hazard to approximately 35 metres from the left hand side of the green, makes cutting the corner a risky option. and provides a challenge from the tee. With a sharp dogleg left 100 metres from the green, placement of your tee shot important. A drive of 200 metres will put you in the box seat here, for a short iron into a green 19 metres wide and 13 metres deep with a bunker on the right hand side of the green. An out of bounds perimeter fence is 10 metres at the back of the green.

TIP:: Don’t go left from the tee here, it’s fraught with danger.

Holes 4 & 13

HOLES 4 & 13 (4 – 160  metres & 13 – 179  metres) par 3 index 6 & 3
The shape of the green makes these holes difficult to par, particularly when playing the 13th. A water hazard across the fairway approximately 24 metres from the green adds to the problems with this hole. The green is 28 metre wide and 8 metre deep with a very deep bunker 10 metres from the front of the green and a bank at the rear. The placement of the pin plays a major part in the final outcome.

TIP: Club selection. If in doubt be long rather than short.

HoleS 5 & 14

HOLES 5 & 14 (5 – 146 metres & 14 – 154 metres) par 3 index 14 & 13
A tricky par 3 with a water hazard across the fairway some 20 metres from the green and continuing along the left hand side of the green for another 30 metres. The green is 23 metres long and 9 metres wide with bunkers at the front left and rear left of the green. A high bank to the right of the green offers the higher handicap players an “out”.

TIP: Don’t go left, water and bunkers await. If in doubt bail out right.

HoleS 6 & 15

HOLES 6 & 15 – 357 metres par 4 index 2 & 1
Probably one of the hardest holes on the course, with out of bounds along the entire right hand side of the fairway and trees on the left. The fairway is fairly wide but a good tee shot is required to allow a clear approach shot into an odd shaped green 25 metres long and 5 metres wide at the narrowest and 12 metres wide at the widest points, sloping from back to front. There is a green side bunker in the front right and out of bounds over the back of the green (approx 20 metres but all down hill so any shot over or through the green is likely to be lost)

TIP: A well placed long drive is a must here to achieve par.

HoleS 7 & 16

HOLES 7 & 16 – 221 metres par 4 index 15 & 16    A straight short par 4 that causes problems for golfers that “go for it” and don’t hit it straight. The green is 22 metres long and 11 metres wide protected by green side bunkers in the front right and middle right, A fairway bunker 22 metres in the front of the green will catch anything short. Trees on the left and right also will cause problems for wayward shots. With any approach shot having to come into the green from the left, likely to finish up in the right hand side green side bunker.

TIP: Play it as a par 4, a well placed tee shot of 170 – 175 metres straight, leave a short pitch to a fairly friendly green. Straight from the tee is the key.

HoleS 8 & 17

HOLES 8 & 17 - 120  metres par 3 index 17 & 18
A simple short par 3 to a large green 21 metres deep and 11 metres wide with bunkers in the front left and middle left. A water hazard across the fairway 65 metres short of the green does not really come into play here. However a long shot can be risky with out of bounds some 10 metres through the back of the green. A generously wide fairway with out of bounds on the far right.

TIP: Play for the middle of the green, for a satisfactory outcome.

HoleS 9 & 18

HOLES 9 & 18  -  301 metres  par 4 index 8 & 7

A good finishing hole, with out of bounds along the entire right hand side of the fairway and a water hazard 140 metres from the tee.  You need to be able to hit your tee shot at least 170 metres to carry this hazard.  There are 3 large bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway.  One at 210 metres from the tee and the other two at 215 metres.  The landing zone to the left of the bunkers, at 200 metres is fairly tight, being 25 metres wide.  A line of trees on the right hand side of the fairway also make approach shots difficult if your tee shot wanders into this line. The green is 28 metres wide and 10 metres deep with 2 grass bunkers at the rear of the green and sand bunkers in the front right and left hand side of the green to penalise short or long shots.

TIP:  Don't go right!!  A well-placed drive in the middle of the fairway, on the top of the hill (approx 100 metres out) sets you up for a short iron into a narrow green.
